Maria Chavez+FollowPirates’ young arms turn heads in MLBOther teams are eyeing the Pirates’ starting rotation with envy—especially after the Mets tried to snag some of Pittsburgh’s promising young pitchers this offseason.

With Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller leading the way, Pittsburgh’s rotation is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in baseball. What do you think—should the Pirates keep building around these young arms, or cash in on a big trade? #Sports #Baseball #Pirates10Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowPirates shake up Pittsburgh’s lineupBig bats and fresh faces are coming to Pittsburgh!

Lowe’s power at the plate could finally give the Bucs the home run threat they’ve been missing, while Mangum’s speed and contact hitting add a new spark to the outfield. It’s a bold move that signals the Pirates are serious about changing their fortunes. What do you think—will these new additions finally get the Pirates over the hump? #Sports #Baseball #Pirates31Share
jillian59+FollowPirates eye big swing with Castellanos dealNick Castellanos could be the next big bat lighting up PNC Park. There’s buzz that the Pirates might land the $100 million slugger from the Phillies, with Philly even covering most of his contract. That’s a serious power boost for a team that’s already been busy this offseason. Castellanos brings proven pop—17 homers last year and a career high of 34. If this deal happens, it could be a game-changer for Pittsburgh’s playoff hopes. What do you think—would Castellanos make the Pirates legit contenders? #Sports #Baseball #Pirates00Share
Andrea Castillo+FollowMcCutchen’s future with Pirates up in the airAndrew McCutchen’s next move with the Pirates is still a mystery, and fans in Pittsburgh are feeling it. For the first time in years, he’s not signed for the upcoming season, and his absence at PiratesFest was hard to miss. GM Ben Cherington says the team values McCutchen’s legacy but is laser-focused on building a playoff contender. With new bats like Ryan O’Hearn and Brandon Lowe joining the roster, the question is: does McCutchen still fit? Should the Pirates bring him back for one last run, or is it time to turn the page? #Sports #Baseball #Pirates00Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowPirates Eyeing Geno: NL Central Shakeup?Rumor mill’s heating up: could the Bucs really swipe Geno from the M’s? With the Mariners losing key bats and the Pirates desperate for some right-handed pop, ESPN’s Cockroft thinks Pittsburgh could make a splash for Eugenio “Geno” Suarez. The move would balance their lineup and maybe finally get them out of the NL Central basement. Would you pull the trigger if you’re the Pirates’ front office? #Sports #Baseball #Pirates00Share
jillian59+FollowPirates miss out on Moncada—what’s next?Yoán Moncada, a top free agent target for the Pirates, just signed with the Angels for $4 million, closing another door for Pittsburgh’s search for a big bat at third base. Even after adding Brandon Lowe and Ryan O’Hearn, the Pirates’ lineup still feels incomplete, especially at third. With Moncada off the board, all eyes are now on Eugenio Suárez and possible trade options like Alec Bohm. Who do you think the Pirates should go after next? Is it time to make a bold move or stay patient? Let’s hear your take on how the front office should play this! #Sports #Baseball #Pirates00Share
jillian59+FollowPirates shake up roster, release Alika WilliamsThe Pirates just made a bold move, parting ways with Alika Williams, their versatile infielder who never quite found his groove in Pittsburgh. Williams, once a first-round pick, showed flashes of potential in Triple-A but struggled to make an impact in the majors. With top prospect Konnor Griffin on the horizon and the team’s lineup getting stronger, the writing was on the wall. It’s a tough business—do you think Williams deserved more time, or was this the right call as the Pirates look to the future? #Sports #Baseball #Pirates00Share
terrysharon+FollowCould Suárez spark a Pirates power surge?Adding Eugenio Suárez to the Pirates lineup could finally give Pittsburgh the power bat it’s been missing for years. Suárez has consistently hit 21+ home runs every season he’s played over 100 games—something no current Pirate managed last year. But here’s the catch: he’s got options with bigger contenders, and Pittsburgh might have to overpay to land him. With the team’s recent moves and a desperate need for offense, would you want the Pirates to break the bank for Suárez, or should they focus elsewhere? Let’s hear your take on what’s best for the Bucs’ future! #Sports #Baseball #Pirates00Share
Timothy Huff MD+FollowPirates pitcher Mlodzinski eyes starting roleCarmen Mlodzinski is making waves in Pittsburgh as he gears up to try starting pitching again for the Pirates. After shining in the bullpen last season with a 2.15 ERA, the team is considering stretching him out for the rotation in 2026. While Mlodzinski has struggled to go deep into games, the Pirates might use a "piggyback" approach—having another pitcher ready to step in after a few innings. With the rotation still not set, do you think Mlodzinski should get another shot as a starter, or is he more valuable in the bullpen? Let’s hear your take, Pirates fans! #Sports #Baseball #Pirates00Share
Timothy Huff MD+FollowShould PNC Park move its fences in?Andrew McCutchen just reignited a hot debate for Pirates fans: is it time to bring the fences in at PNC Park? Despite its stunning riverfront views, PNC Park is notorious for being tough on hitters—especially righties—leading to the fewest home runs in MLB last season. With other teams like the Royals and Tigers adjusting their stadiums for more offense, McCutchen’s call for change feels more relevant than ever. Would moving the left-center wall actually boost the Pirates’ power game, or is the park’s character worth preserving? Let’s hear your take! #Sports #Baseball #Pirates01Share
