By now, it isn't news that the Pittsburgh Pirates are expected to spend money this offseason. Offensive upgrades are at the top of the list, but despite the $30-$40 million cash infusion into the budget, most experts expect the Pirates to be shopping in the mid-tier section of free agency.
That has led the likes of Ryan O'Hearn and Jorge Polanco to be bandied about as realistic targets for Pittsburgh. That's a vast improvement over the bargain bin signings we've seen over the last several years, but it's not exactly shopping at the top of the market.
