Pirates Bring Back Bethancourt | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Pirates make a quiet but smart move, bringing in veteran catcher Christian Bethancourt from the Yankees’ system to bolster their depleted backstop — especially for an upcoming road trip. Though his bat hasn’t been flashy (career .225 AVG, 34 RBIs high), he’s got power (11 homers in two recent seasons) and experience, including a prior stint with Pittsburgh. With Endy Rodríguez sidelined, Bethancourt slots in as insurance — no big splash, just the kind of practical depth the team needs right now. Welcome back, Christian.
