A lot has gone wrong for the Pittsburgh Pirates this season. Despite having perhaps the best young star in the game in Paul Skenes, the club has struggled to put a competitive product on the field, contrary to what Bob Nutting might tell you.

A botched trade deadline where Pittsburgh failed to fully capitalize on its assets makes it likely that 2025 isn't the end of the losing.
