Pitchers and catchers across MLB report for their designated camps in less than 30 days and the Pittsburgh Pirates still have plenty of work to get done.
When the offseason started, General Manager Ben Cherington indicated the team would be busy adding players and possibly even extending some of the team’s young stars. As we enter the middle of January, the Bucs have yet to take flight on their offseason “To-Do” list.
As of Jan. 15, the Pirates added two players from free agency (LHP Martin Perez and 1B/DH Rowdy Tellez), re-signed OF/DH Andrew McCutchen and acquired LHP Marco Gonzales from the Atlanta Braves and OF Edward Olivares from the Kansas City Royals.
