LAS VEGAS — Thursday marked the unofficial halfway point of the offseason as the Winter Meetings came to a close at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.
The Pirates did not select or lose any players in the major-league phase of Thursday's Rule 5 Draft. They did add two players in the minor-league phase, outfielder Randolph Gassaway from the Orioles and right-hander Winston Nicacio from the Cardinals.
Gassaway, 23, hit a combined .268/.345/.385 with six home runs at Class A Frederick and short-season Aberdeen this year. Nicacio, 21, was a combined 4-3 with a 4.72 ERA in 22 games, including 10 starts, with Class A Peoria and short-season State College.
