Charlie Morton vs. Jeff Locke: who is more deserving of spot in Pittsburgh Pirates’ rotation?

The Pittsburgh Pirates will likely add at least one starting pitcher to their rotation this offseason, whether that comes via free agency or a trade. There’s a chance that that’s all the Pirates could do for their rotation before Opening Day next season. One addition would make five starters, and then the team could add minor league depth options and wait for Tyler Glasnow and possibly Jameson Taillon to arrive. Some, like myself, would say that the Pirates can’t stick with both Charlie Morton and Jeff Locke at the back-end of the rotation.
