The Pittsburgh Pirates made significant roster changes before the free agency deadline, retaining hard-throwing relief pitcher Ryan Harbin and losing right-hander Jack Little and outfielder Ji Hwan Bae to other teams. Several players were reinstated from the injured list, but pitchers Dugan Darnell and Michael Darrell-Hicks were designated for assignment. Promising prospects Bae and Peguero were not expected to make a significant impact, leading to their departure. The Pirates now have 39 players on their roster, navigating free agency and preparing for the Rule Five Draft.
