Fans of the Pittsburgh Pirates have been quite literally waiting all season for a Bubba Chandler call up, as he is viewed by many as the best pitching prospect in baseball. Well, he finally did get promoted...pop the champagne! Pirates fans have seen their team post a great record at PNC Park and a Cy Young caliber season from Paul Skenes...but not much else. Seeing Chandler get the call must have been exhilarating amidst another dreadful season from the Buckos, but that thrill unfortunately did not last all that long.
In theory, a rotation of Skenes, Chandler, Mitch Keller, Jared Jones (when healthy) and either Mike Burrows, Braxton Ashcraft, Johan Oviedo or Thomas Harrington is electric.
