Ben Cherington is back as the GM of the Pirates, and if last season wasn't the "make or break" year for him, then this one certainly is. The offense is a mess, and the pitching staff is now being run by a new coaching hire.
Free agency is officially starting up, and that grabs most of the attention every offseason. There are still a handful of other things the Pirates need to focus on this offseason, too. Pittsburgh got their offseason started by placing a handful of players on waivers, but there is still work to be done.
