Pittsburgh Pirates Free Agent Target: Infielder Matt Duffy

Once seemingly a rising star in baseball, infielder Matt Duffy has not had much luck with injuries over the past few seasons. Following a World Series victory in which he recorded a speed of 20+ MPH scoring on a wild pitch from second base, the Duffman had a strong season as a utility player in San Francisco, posting a 4.4 fWAR with a 113 wRC+. He also accumulated 7.5 UZR playing at the hot corner.

However, when Duffy was traded to the Rays to replace long-time third baseman Evan Longoria, he ended up missing the entirety of the 2017 season with an Achilles injury.
