What middle infield help could be available this offseason? Why are the Pittsburgh Pirates so inconsistent? Can the team get anything for Josh Harrison? And more in this week’s Pirate mailbag.
As always, thank you to everyone who submitted questions this week and participated. Now, let’s dive in!
What are some potential middle infield free agent targets for the Pirates this off-season?

Looking ahead to 2019 this team has very few holes outside of the middle of their infield. Adeiny Hechavarria and Jordy Mercer are both set to hit free agency at season’s end, and neither are very good anyway, and Josh Harrison has had a poor season making it no guarantee his option is picked up this offseason (more on that later).
