Pittsburgh Pirates General Manager Neal Huntington said that he would like to bring in a few starters via free agency or trades. The issue is that the free agent class is relatively weak compared to other years. Many teams may over pay for pitchers who are not actually worth the money they could receive. The free agent list is made up of many middle of the rotation type arms, none that would be considered high-end necessarily. The top two arms are Ivan Nova and Rich Hill. Nova, who Pittsburgh fans are familiar with, had a five plus earned run average before joining the Bucs on August first.
