Pirates Outright Andrew Susac

By Steve Adams | October 2, 2020 at 1:37pm CDT

Pirates catcher Andrew Susac cleared waivers and was outrighted off the 40-man roster, per John Dreker of PiratesProspects.com (Twitter link). He can become a minor league free agent this offseason.

Susac, 30, joined the Pirates’ big league roster late in the season when Jacob Stallings landed on the seven-day concussion list. The former Giants top prospect picked up only four plate appearances though, and hasn’t tallied more than 19 plate appearances in the Majors since the 2015 campaign in San Francisco. In all, Susac has a career .219/.286/.371 slash with seven homes in 304 plate appearances at the game’s top level. While Susac has never quite put things together in the big leagues, however, he’s a lifetime .247/.351/.431 hitter in 1020 trips to the plate in Triple-A.

Between Susac’s outright, yesterday’s claim of righty Sean Poppen and the corresponding decision to designate JT Riddle for assignment, the Pirates’ 40-man roster is at 39 players.

    J.T. Riddle yesterday, Andrew Susac today. At this rate the Bucs will have all the dead weight off of their 40-man roster by… August, maybe?

      They don’t want to do them all at once. It won’t look good. :)

        Whatever he’s doing, I’m sure he’s getting rave reviews for it.
