Pirates trade Paulino

The Pirates traded former starting catcher Ronny Paulino to the Philadelphia Phillies for minor-league catcher Jason Jamarillo.

Paulino hit .212 with two home runs and 18 RBIs in 40 games last season. He lost his starting job by the end of spring training to Ryan Doumit and never got it back. He was banished to the minors.

Jaramillo, a former top prospect, hit .266 with eight home runs and 39 RBI for Class AAA Lehigh Valley.
