Joey Bart Makes Promising Start with Pirates After Leaving Giants

Former Giants catcher Joey Bart is adjusting well to his new team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, following his trade earlier this month.

Joey Bart, traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates, has made a solid impression with a .304 batting average and three home runs in his first seven games.
Bart expressed mixed emotions about returning to San Francisco, highlighting the strong relationships he developed with the Giants.
The catcher credited his quick adjustment in Pittsburgh to the guidance of teammates like Andrew McCutchen.
Despite the promising start, Bart faces competition for playing time from other catchers, including top prospect Henry Davis.
Giants manager Bob Melvin noted that a change of scenery has benefitted Bart, who struggled to meet expectations in San Francisco.
