| 5/15/25 | Meet the Pirates' New Boss, Same as the Old Boss. T he announcement made late last week was brief but all-encompassing. And no, I'm not talking about the firing of Derek Shelton . The one that really betrayed the wretched state of Pirates baseball in 2025 was issued a day after the Pirates had announced Shelton had been “relieved of his duties” as manager. It wasn't a press release on official Pirates letterhead, just an email fired off last Friday detailing yet another in a seemingly endless succession of meaningless transactions: “The Pittsburgh Pirates today placed infielder Enmanuel Valdez on the 10-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation. Infielder/outfielder Ji Hwan Bae has been recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis.” Shelton exited Source: https://www.pittsburghmagazine.com/pittsburgh-pira... |
| 5/14/25 | Pirates Transfer Infielder to 60-Day Injured List. The Pittsburgh Pirates announced Thursday that infielder Enmanuel Valdez has been transferred from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL, effectively sidelining him until at least mid-July as he continues to recover from left shoulder inflammation. Valdez, 26, was initially placed on the 10-day IL on May 5 after struggling with discomfort in his throwing shoulder. The move to the 60-day IL is procedural, opening a spot on the 40-man roster for newly acquired utility player Michael Helman, but it also confirms that Valdez's recovery will take longer than initially expected. Acquired from the Boston Red Sox in an offseason trade, Valdez had been serving as a versatile infielder for the Pirates, primarily filling in at first base due to injuries elsewhere on the roster.

While Valdez was likely called up as extra depth at second base, he has played primarily at first base, starting there 22 times, while starting just three times at second base, all coming during a road series vs. the Cincinnati Reds, Arpil 11-13.

| 9/30/24 | Red Sox Surprisingly Predicted To Trade Promising Infielder For Pitching Help. Trades will be one of the main storylines of the Boston Red Sox's winter--whether they do or don't occur. Part of the issue was their roster construction--the starting pitching depth was never going to last throughout the season, and the lineup was far too dependent on left-handed hitters. With a high volume of talented prospects on the way, most of whom also bat lefty, Boston is in a position to capitalize on their depth. One left-handed hitter who looks to be on the outs is 25-year-old Enmanuel Valdez, the Opening Day second baseman this year who ended up shuffling between Triple-A and the big leagues all season long.

| 9/04/24 | Red Sox Called Up Wrong Middle Infielder From Worcester, New Report Shows. As September began, the Boston Red Sox used one of their two extra roster spots on Enmanuel Valdez, which may have been a mistake.

Jamie Westbrook is on fire at the plate right now, and he's making Boston look silly for not electing to promote him instead of Valdez in September. FanSided's Katie Manganelli discussed the clear discrepancy between Westbrook and Valdez in a new report this week, indicating that the Red Sox surely regret the Valdez call-up.
