The Pirates announced Sunday that Swaggerty will be included as one of 19 players on the team's taxi squad for the 2020 season, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The members of the taxi squad will begin training at the Pirates' Double-A facility in Altoona in the near future and will be on hand to provide depth as needed for the MLB club during the 60-game slate. One of the Pirates' top outfield prospects, Swaggerty hasn't played above the High-A level and would presumably only be used by the big club in an emergency. His inclusion on the taxi squad is likely just a measure by the organization to oversee his development more closely in the event the 2020 minor-league season is cancelled.
