I think it’s fair to say that the Pittsburgh Pirates have uncharacteristically been throwing around some money. Far removed from big spenders like the Los Angeles Dodgers, but still, this Buccos team has some serious money invested into it now and things, in my opinion, are looking brighter than ever. With that being said, there is still room for improvement. The team is still looking to sure up their rotation, and while there are several guys in-house that could fill that role, one free-agent stands out to me, and that is Trevor Bauer.
I’m not going to sit behind this keyboard and act like this move is a slam dunk, because it’s certainly not, but it is compelling enough to talk about and analyze.
