With pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training later this month the Pittsburgh Pirates have to be in the market to add to their bullpen. One of their targets in free agency should be former Philadelphia Phillies reliever Tommy Hunter.

During the 2020 season the bullpen of the Pittsburgh Pirates vastly improved from their disastrous 2019 season. The Bucco bullpen went from one of the worst in baseball in 2019, to 14th in fWAR in MLB during the 2020 season.
