Pirates acquired INF Jesus Valdez from the Dodgers for 3B David Freese.
The 20-year-old infielder has played only in the Dominican Summer League where he slashed .230/.343/.412 with six homers, 27 RBI and 16 stolen bases in 60 games. He’s very raw, but by all reports also very talented. It’s not a bad get for the Pirates in exchange for one month of David Freese.
