One position that has not been talked about much this off season for the Pittsburgh Pirates is third base. This is most likely because people have assumed that Colin Moran would continue to play every day and eventually top hitting prospect Ke’Bryan Hayes would get called up. Between Hayes and Moran third base seemed like it would be in a fine spot for 2020.
Well, yesterday it was reported by Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette that the Pittsburgh Pirates are interested in the third base market. This could be because the new front office wants to give Ke’Bryan Hayes as much time as needed to continue and develop at the Triple-A level.
