Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread
I am old, and still trying to understand some of baseball’s new averages, but when looking at OPS of some of the younger outfielders( not older than 35) still on the free agent list two of the remaining players with decent OPS are: Randal Grichuk OPS 769 Ramon Laueano. OPS 749 Both are right handed ...

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread
With so many infielders on the roster,and lately there has not been any rumors about the Pirates signing a free agent outfielder I wonder if they are working on a trade. The Pirates have a surplus of middle infielders, as well as players who can play third base, and I wonder what their plans are for...

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread
The Pirates front office gambled that Elvis Alvarado would not be claimed when they acquired Frazier and had to put him on the 40 man roster. They lost that gamble as the A’s claimed Alvarado. Alvarado was an intriguing pick up as a possible bullpen piece. Was one year of Frazier ( yet another midd...

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread
Pirates management knew the answers to those questions before they even asked them. Does anyone believe that the responses will change how the team is operated? This is strictly a PR move. It gives the illusion that team management cares about what the fans think. But nothing could be further from ...

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread
Seen some information this evening about Verdugo and Grichuk it appears Boston, Kansas and Houston have interest in one or the other player. If this is true the Pirates have little chance of signing either player. Looks like dumpster diving again this year. Thank you Bob for not giving us a competit...

Re: 2025 Official OBN Predictions Thread
thanks for starting this. I plan on waiting to make my official prediction until later in spring training so that Ben has a chance to make more moves. I agree I will hold off making a prediction to see if the Pirates make any additional moves. At this point, I wonder if they are better than the 76 ...

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread
I sure wish someone with the Pirates would come out and say “ we are still actively pursuing a corner outfielder “ . If Adam Frazier is the answer, then they have big problems.

Re: Let’s Get Austin Hayes
Seems like the Reds liked him more than the Pirates since he signed with the Reds today.

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread
I suspect Hayes is toast. Bad backs don't get better, they only get worse. He may be able to play some this year but I wouldn't be counting on him to have a stellar year. Adding Frasier may be to free up Cook (or Yorke) for more time at third. You may be on the right track. The signing of Frazier s...

Re: 2024 Off-Season Thread
Before this signing of Frazier I thought the additions last night for the bullpen were good signings. It seems right now if there are no injuries the first 5 bullpen arms would be : Badnar, Holderman, Carman M, Nicholas , and Santana. Between the remaining pitchers on the 40 man roster and some pitc...
