I am constantly watching over the roster, and one of the main aspects I’ve been keeping my eye on this offseason is how the bullpen will shake out. Consider, with expanded rosters this season, teams can carry no more than 13 pitchers at a time, something the Pittsburgh Pirates did with regularity last season and […]

With the season behind us, it’s finally time to look at where the payroll ended up for 2019. I’ve been tracking it since Day 1 of the season, and it’s always fun to analyze changes throughout the year. My favorite part of tracking payroll is to compare the official Competitive Balance Tax numbers released after […]

Well, as Ron Burgundy might say, “That escalated quickly.” This wasn’t a topic I anticipated visiting quite this early, but after the entire pitching staff’s performance has seemingly fallen off a cliff, and twenty losses in their last twenty-nine games (as of June 20th) have the team hovering around last place in the division, it […]

Rosenthal says that the Pirates’ preference is to trade Corey Dickerson to “reduce their surplus of outfielders.” Both Cabrera and Dickerson are free agents at the end of the season. Cabrera is making $1.15 M this […]

While the club knew about and could […]
