Will these three Pittsburgh Pirates relievers be in their Opening Day bullpen to start 2024?

The Pittsburgh Pirates have a foundation for their 2024 bullpen already set. David Bednar will be the 9th inning guy, with the likes of Colin Holderman, Carmen Mlodzinski, Dauri Moreta, and Ryan Borucki bridging the gap between the starting pitcher and the Renegade. But that’s just five pitchers. That may be a good foundation, but the Pirates need to build the rest of the house.

The Bucs do have a few options heading into this off-season, however. There are some young guys that could compete for a bullpen spot when Spring Training arrives, but looking at it through a too early lens, will these relief pitchers be part of the Pirates’ 2024 bullpen?
