Despite a couple of valiant efforts, the Pirates were unable to pull off a big trade deadline move. But it wasn’t a completely inactive day for the club. Here’s Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN in Seattle:
Andino was outrighted off the Mariners’ 40-man roster in late May and has posted a weak .232/.294/.318 career batting line in 1,467 major league plate appearances. But he possesses decent speed, a good glove and can play all around the diamond. He will head to Triple-A Indianapolis for the time being.
