Tammy Sellers+FollowCould Josh Jung make the Pirates playoff-ready?Pittsburgh’s offense has struggled, but there’s buzz that the Pirates might trade for All-Star third baseman Josh Jung from the Rangers.

If this deal happens, it could finally give the Pirates the power and consistency they’ve been missing at third base. Imagine how a move like this could shake up the lineup and maybe even put Pittsburgh back in the playoff conversation.

Andrea Castillo+FollowPirates’ rookie gamble could shake up Opening DayA 19-year-old could break into the Pirates’ Opening Day roster, something we haven’t seen in MLB since 2018. Konnor Griffin, the team’s top draft pick, is in the mix, and fans are buzzing about the possibility. While the Pirates have some solid options at shortstop, none have Griffin’s raw potential.

Catherine Reeves+FollowPirates eye Cody Bellinger for big 2026 pushThe Pittsburgh Pirates are making serious waves this offseason, and now there’s buzz they’re targeting Cody Bellinger, one of MLB’s top free agents. After adding All-Stars like Ryan O’Hearn and Brandon Lowe, plus high-upside talent, the front office is showing they’re all-in on building around Paul Skenes instead of trading him. Bellinger would be a massive get for a team with one of the league’s lowest payrolls, signaling a real shot at playoff contention.
