I think the biggest complaint that can be levied against the Pittsburgh Pirates right now is how long their rebuild is taking.
The Pirates are heading in the right direction from a farm system standpoint. In fact, if you look at some of their needs, and line those needs up with system strengths, you see more of a fully shaped plan.
For example, the Pirates need catching. Ben Cherington made that a priority in 2021. He added Endy Rodriguez in the Joe Musgrove trade. Then, he drafted Henry Davis first overall that summer. That was followed by smaller trades for Carter Bins and Abrahan Gutierrez.
