I been thinking since the trade of Josh Bell that the Pirates need to add some offense to the lineup. I am sure this free agent signing will not happen, but they should make an offer to Eddie Rosario. He is a lefty hitter which would play well at PNC Park, he has a history with Derek Shelton since he played with the Twins. I would guess if they signed him there would be very little difference between his stats and those of Josh Bell. Another positive is that he is 29 years old, and if he was having a productive 2021 he would be an ideal player to flip at the deadline for players to add to their depth.

he would be an improvement, I doubt if Bucs will go for him but I'm sure there will be some additions by spring training.

Duvall would ne a nice addition, but lower your expectations. Everyone knows where this offseason is headed; the 2021 season is headed and who will not only have the first pick in the 21 draft, but 22. We will probably have a payroll close to 20 million if Nutting has his way.

From MLBTRs
Pirates-Indians Showed Past Trade Interest in Alejandro Kirk
Looks like he is a hitter and can handle the catching position but it looks like at 5' 8" and 265 he will need to roll around the bases rather than run.

I expect Trevor Williams to be back as the big free agent signing this off season.

Guy's built like Lavalliere at the end of the line.

I'm glad i don't sit behind home plate when that guy squats down.
I can see it now. He catches the ball, but rolls over backwards, taking out the batter, the ump, and the batting cage.
