Pittsburgh’s front office just made a statement—Ryan O’Hearn is joining the Pirates on a two-year, $29 million deal. After years as a platoon player, O’Hearn’s recent surge (career-high 17 homers and a .281 average) signals he’s ready for a bigger role. He outperformed every Pirates hitter last season, and his improved numbers against lefties could finally give the lineup some much-needed firepower. With new faces like Brandon Lowe and Jake Mangum also in the mix, is this the year the Pirates’ offense finally turns the corner? What do you think this means for the team’s playoff hopes? #Sports #Baseball #Pirates
