Pirates Claim Jake Barrett

By Jeff Todd | March 1, 2019 at 1:19pm CDT

The Pirates have claimed right-handed reliever Jake Barrett, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic tweets.  Barrett had recently been designated for assignment by the Giants.  Chad Kuhl was moved to the Pirates’ 60-day injured list in a corresponding move; Kuhl will likely miss the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last September.

Barrett finds himself with his third different organization in under a month.  After the Giants acquired him from the Diamondbacks in early February, Barrett then entered DFA limbo once again after San Francisco claimed Hanser Alberto.

The 27-year-old righty will now vie for a job in Pittsburgh’s bullpen this spring, following a season that saw him toss just seven MLB innings for Arizona.  Barrett posted solid numbers (3.49 ERA, 2.00 K/BB rate, 8.5 K/9 over 59 1/3 innings) in his 2016 season, but has been less effective ever since, appearing in just 35 total games for the D’Backs in 2017-18 and posting a 5.03 ERA over 34 frames.

      Don’t blame Huntington. It’s the owner who makes him have to shop at Thrift Stores.

        You should be praising NH for what he’s been able to do with the trash Nutting allows him to sign.

    I think Neil is a good GM but he could have got Adam Warren for a little more. Neil I hope your reading this; Not every move has to be F’in roster filler!

      Signing Warren would have cost money.
      The Pirates do not like to do that.
      Their pitching staff is fairly full,and they do not want to add as there is not a convenient major league spot to put him into as they want to carry Kingham and Burdi.
      They will pay for it when the normal injuries hit and they will have no one to step in.
      I also think that this is not all on Nutting as NH has been doing this so long that he cannot get out of the rut.

    Most mlb teams do their shopping at Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue. The Pirates shop at big lots. You get what you pay for.
