The Pittsburgh Pirates' biggest need this offseason is power-hitting threats, but when you employ an offense that ranked last in runs scored (583) and second-last in wRC+ (82) in 2025, you'll take upgrades wherever and however you can get them.
On the surface, Luis Arraez doesn't really fit what the Bucs are seeking, as a middling defensive player who has hit just 12 home runs combined over the past two seasons.
However, he's still posted a 106 wRC+ since the start of 2024, and his 104 mark this past season would have ranked second on the team behind Spencer Horwitz.
