Vinny Capra traded
- Thread starter Wood Hall
- Start date
Good for him, didn't see it in the transactions.
Infielder Tucupita Marcano tore an ACL and will be out for the season. They also traded IF Rudolfo Castro to the Phillies. Maybe Vinny can get more than a cup of coffee this time.

Vinny was optioned back down to Indy a few days ago after playing in two games with the Pirates.
Subbed in late at 3B in his first game and went 0-for-1, then played a full game at 2B where he went 1-for-3 plus a walk and scored a run.

Capra got called back up 8/21 & played the last few games for Pirates
He hit a double today (8/30) for his first MLB XBH and first career RBI.
He just about has 43 days of MLB service time, including last year's time with Toronto. It's key to his financial future to stay up for the rest of the season and get past 43 days of service time.
A player must have spent at least 43 days in the majors (service time) to receive the minimum pension of $34,000. Service time applies to the amount of days a player is on a roster, not games played.
Depending on when he starts his pension, that could be a significant chunk of money over his lifetime. With the rosters expanded to 28 now, hopefully he can make it through the end of the season and qualify.
