Pirates trade Sojo to Yankees for minor leaguer
The Pittsburgh Pirates sent utility infielder Luis Sojo back to the New York Yankees for minor league right-hander Chris. Sojo, who hit .284 with five homers and 20 RBIs in 61 games for Pittsburgh last season, was moved after the Pirates acquired Enrique Wilson. The Yankees could have claimed Soto on waivers last month but did not, leaving Sojo subject to waivers and a potential 10 day window for Pittsburgh to trade or release. The piece references various minor league records and quotes from players about pitching and hitting.
