The Pirates don’t need a complete overhaul this offseason, but there are a few obvious weaknesses they have to fix if they want to take another step in 2027.
On today’s Bucco Brew, we look at Pittsburgh’s struggles against left-handed pitching and some potential offseason targets who could help, discuss Wyatt Sanford’s breakout and what the next wave of Pirates prospects could look like, and figure out how much work still needs to be done with a bullpen that cost this team too many games in 2026.
