Anyone who watched the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2019 know they have multiple needs entering this offseason. However, there is one need that outweighs the others – pitching. As the offseason revs up, the team finds themselves in dire need of both starting pitching and bullpen help.
While the team does not currently have a general manager, there is no doubt that whoever is hired as the team’s new GM will target starting pitching help this offseason. When looking at the starting pitching free agent class there are many names that look enticing. But when you look at names that could be in the Pirates’ price range, one that is very intriguing is long time nemesis Michael Wacha.
