Former Pirates hitting coach Andy Haines has been hired as a minor league hitting instructor by the Chicago Cubs. Haines was let go by the Pirates after last season.
Former Pirates draft pick Casey Sadler has announced his retirement from pro baseball. The 34-year-old was taken in the 25th round of the 2010 draft and reached the majors with the Bucs in 2014. He pitched only nine games with them over three seasons before moving on to the Rays, Dodgers, Mariners, and Cubs.
