The Pittsburgh Pirates have made a lot of changes over the last calendar year. Could they look to bring a former player in to Spring Training?

Lat offseason, the Pittsburgh Pirates were in the market for a new manager and pitching coach. A lot of different names were thrown out there, from local connections, former players, and coaches from other teams. In the end, the Bucs went the external route and hired Derek Shelton and Oscar Morin to fill the two vacancies.

One name that was brought up was AJ Burnett.
