The Winter Meetings will begin in a few days, and I am going to be optimistic and predict that the Pirates will return from the Meetings with at least one new position player. He may be acquired through a trade, or free agent signing at the meetings. There has been a lot of negative attention given ...

Back in mid November it was reported Brent Strom was being hired as an assistant pitching coach. Nothing yet has been confirmed by the Pirates. Has the deal fallen through, or are they just holding off to make a special announcement? https://www.mlb.com/pirates/news/brent-strom-new-role-pirates-ass...

Since both these 2 players came over at the trading deadline, I have been intrigued with them. Cook did strikeout more than I liked in September, but his defense was excellent, and he hit three homers.

I have read in a couple places the Pirates maybe in on Tyler O’Neal which would be a good player to bring on board. If they sign O’Neal which would cost more than the type of player they normally sign, they could forgo signing a first baseman, and use Endy Rodriguez and Billy Cook at first base. Pos...

Last year they signed Cutch closer to Christmas. Currently the roster is at 36 players,so they probably want to ...

The Pirates current estimated team payroll for 2025 is approximately $70 million. Unless they shed some estimated payroll it doesn’t appear like they can sign many free agent players unless their payroll exceeds the 90 to 100 million dollar range. If Cutch returns at his same salary as the past cou...
