After a dismal 2025 campaign, the Pittsburgh Pirates need offense wherever they can get it. Nearly no position is off limits, except for maybe first base, where Spencer Horwitz and his second-half surge make him look like a keeper.
The Pirates will be shopping in something adjacent to the bargain bin pretty much the entire offseason, but one long-rumored trade target could finally become a reality for Pittsburgh in the form of Los Angeles Angels outfielder Taylor Ward.
For the better part of two years, there have been rumblings that the Pirates would like to acquire the slugger, and now it seems the Angels are finally willing to part with him, for the right price.
