3 years agoThe Pittsburgh Pirates have removed two notable players from their roster, designating first baseman Colin Moran and pitcher Steven Brault for assignment. The moves make room on the 40-man roster for pitcher Jose Quintana and the recently re-signed first baseman Yoshi Tsutsugo. Moran was the last remaining piece of the Gerrit Cole trade on Pittsburgh's roster. He's slashed .267/.329/.418 for his career, spending the past four seasons as a starter for the Pirates. He has had deep-league fantasy value at times and figures to play a role wherever he catches on. Tsutsugo should garner the vacated at-bats, and could be a late-round option in fantasy drafts.--Doug Goldring - RotoBaller
