Morris was traded to the Pirates on Thursday for a player to be named later, Andrew Gruman of FOX Sports Wisconsin reports. Morris was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs in late-January, but when both Matt Clark and Jason Rogers were optioned there in a recent slew of transactions, there simply wasn't a spot available for the former Brewers' minor league player of the year. He's unlikely to see much time at the big league level in Pittsburgh either, but should at least see steady reps in Triple-A ball until needed.
