Pirates Claim Tristan Gray Off Waivers

Title: Pirates Claim Tristan Gray Off Waivers - Pirates Prospects The Pittsburgh Pirates have claimed infielder Tristan Gray off waivers from the Oakland Athletics. Gray was initially drafted by the Pirates in the 13th round of the 2017 draft and was traded the following year for Corey Dickerson. Over the past two seasons, Gray has made 36 plate appearances in the majors, achieving a batting line of .152/.222/.273. In the 2024 season, Gray performed primarily in Triple-A with Miami, hitting .245/.318/.459 and hitting 17 home runs. After his time with Miami, Gray played for Oakland, where he recorded a batting line of .296/.350/.519 in 60 plate appearances. At 28 years old, Gray has experience playing across the infield, an area where the Pirates have multiple options. The Pirates have bolstered their upper-level infield depth by trading for Billy Cook and Nick Yorke at the trade deadline. Other infield options for the Pirates include Nick Gonzales, Alika Williams, Liover Peguero, and Jared Triolo. Gray's addition provides further depth to the Pirates' infield roster. There is a possibility that Gray may be waived in the offseason, with the aim of clearing waivers to be outrighted to the minors, and he has two option years remaining if he stays on the 40-man roster.
