The Pirates traded outfielder to the Cubs yesterday (h/t to of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette). Celestino, who was on a minor league deal with Pittsburgh and will Hudson Fasching Jersey therefore not occupy a spot on the Cubs 40-man roster, is making his organizational debut at Triple-A Iowa tonight. Its likely that the Pirates received a small amount of cash in return. Celestino had spent the entire season with Pittsburghs top minor league team. He was hitting .271/.348/.356 through 264 plate appearances. Celestino only had three home runs but was striking out a lower than average 20% clip and had gone 9-10 in stolen base attempts. He played all three outfield spots in Indianapolis with a plurality of time in center field. The 25-year-old Celestino played in the majors with the Twins between 2021-22. He got into 122 games in the latter season, hitting .238/.313/.302 over 347 trips to the plate. Minnesota kept him on the injured list or on optional a signment to Triple-A for all of last year and waived him at the start of the offseason. He went unclaimed and joined the Bucs in November. Pittsburgh has had one of the least productive center field situations in the majors. Neither nor has offered much offensively. Celestinos Triple-A work was neverthele s not enough to convince the Pirates to give him a big league look. Hell have a couple months to try to snag a roster spot in Chicago. Zdeno Chara Jersey
