Examining the Pirates and how on-base percentage, length from starting pitchers, and contributions from offseason acquisitions are powering the Pirates. What else can be taken away from the big series against the Orioles? Let's take a look.

Could one of the Pittsburgh Pirates top pitching prospects, Bubba Chandler, follow a similar path to the big leagues as Jared Jones and open the 2025 season on the team's Major League roster? Jones came out of Spring with the team, could Chandler be next?

The Pirates traded right-hander Colin Selby to the Royals for minor league arm Connor Oliver, improving their organizational depth. This move aligns with the Pirates' long-term plans and underscores their commitment to building strong waves of players.

Andrew McCutchen hasn't hit the ground running to start 2024, but before you think he's washed, there are reasons why you should be a little patient with the former MVP.

Advanced analytics seem to point to a regression for the streaking Pirates. What does xwOBA mean for Pittsburgh?

The Pittsburgh Pirates look to have a future ace on their hands in 22 year old pitcher Jared Jones. Jones is showing why some viewed him as a top 100 prospect in Baseball. So far he has been historical to say the least through 2 starts thus far.

How do the Pirates' four minor league affiliates compare to each other, and which one is the best?

In my post yesterday, I detailed how the Pirates lost yesterday’s game in the 2nd inning when they first squandered a bases loaded and nobody-out situation. Still, everything worked out in the end for the Pirates and David Bednar picked up his first save.

The good news is that the Pirates are still in first place.  The bad news:  Their five game winning streak is over. The Pirates lost 5 to 3 to the Washington Na

The Pirates' front office added a number of pieces to the roster during the 2024 offseason. Which acquisitions have the best tools to help the Pittsburgh Pirates succeed for the 2024 season? There are a few that are already making their mark

The Pittsburgh Pirates' decision to pay Mitch Keller $15 million annually seems reasonable when considering his role as a mid-tier starter, with only 38 other pitchers earning more than him. Despite past struggles, Keller has shown improvement over time.

The Pirates have been fairly proactive in securing their young core for the long haul, but they have some less ovbious players they should still pursue deals with.

The Pirates are among the league leaders in pitches seen per plate appearance, and the result is one of the highest-scoring offenses in MLB

The Pittsburgh Pirates have added to their roster by acquiring former No. 2 overall pick Joey Bart from the San Francisco Giants.
Dylan Callaghan-Croley|
The Pirates have made a trade, a minor one at that. The team is sending left-handed pitcher prospect Jackson Wolf back to the San Diego Padres in exchange for infield prospect Kervin Perchado. The deal comes after Wolf was designated for assignment.

The Pittsburgh Pirates traded JT Brubaker along with some international money to the New York Yankees for a PTBNL, but who could that player be?

The Tampa Rays started out the 2023 season by winning 13 games in a row.  While the Rays were a very good baseball team in 2023, the 13-game winning streak was
