PIRATES ACQUIRE PITCHER ALLEN WEBSTER

The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired pitcher Allen Webster from the Arizona Diamondbacks for cash.

What does it give the Pittsburgh Pirates
In Webster, the Pirates acquire a decent arm who is still only 25 years old. He can be used either as a starter or reliever so he stands a decent chance of making the team out of spring training.

What does it give the Arizona Diamondbacks
The Diamondbacks recently decided to designate Webster for assignment, so they decided to accept cash from the Bucs in exchange for his services. Arizona was ready to move on from him.

Fantasy impact
Webster's fantasy value could be on the rise here, as he could rebound nicely with a better team. He enters 2016 as a fantasy dark horse.
