Pirates moves signal changing of the guard

The Pittsburgh Pirates entered the offseason after another tough year struggling to find successful pieces to build on.

Finishing as the fourth-worst team in baseball, the Bucs will once again pick in the top five of the MLB draft after selecting Henry Davis No. 1 overall in July.

Baseball now finds themselves in a league-wide lockout for the ninth ever work stoppage in the game’s history, halting any moves from being made before a near agreement is reached.

Pittsburgh made a flurry of roster moves before the lights were turned off on the league, including trading Jacob Stallings to Miami for three players, signing left-handed starting pitcher Jose Quintana and catcher Roberto Perez, and cutting ties with other veteran players.
