Pirates acquired INF-OF Corey Wimberly from the Athletics for RHP Ryan Kelly. |
Wimberly, 27, batted .284/.373/.354 with three home runs, 57 RBI and 56 stolen bases in 74 attempts at Triple-A Sacramento this past season while playing both the infield and the outfield. He's getting a little old for a prospect, but there's still a chance he could stick as a utility player in the big leagues. |
