MARK MATHIAS MOVED TO THE PIRATES

The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired infielder/outfielder Mark Mathias from the Texas Rangers for a player to be named later.

What does it give the Pittsburgh Pirates
In Mathias, the Pirates add a versatile bat off the bench who could end up in a platoon role if things pan out in 2023.

What does it give the Texas Rangers
The Rangers designated Mathias for assignment recently, so they did well to land a future asset in this transaction.

Fantasy impact
Mathias is not a recommendable draft option in most leagues, but keep an eye on his utilization in Pittsburgh. He might become an in-season pickup candidate.
