Bucs Dugout 2024 staff predictions: Will the Pirates get over the hump this year?

In 2023, the Pittsburgh Pirates saw significant improvement from mostly everyone on the roster and it resulted in a 76-86 record, marking a 14-win improvement from the year before.

Expectations for the Bucs are high coming into this season. They added several pieces to the roster in the offseason and locked in ace Mitch Keller to a five-year extension as he leads a (somewhat) improved starting rotation.

How will they fare in 2024? Here is what our staff thinks.
