The Pirates have started looking toward 2027, and Alex Stumpf is going position by position to figure out where this roster needs to improve.

First up: the outfield. Bryan Reynolds remains one of the safest bets in the lineup, Oneil Cruz took another step forward and Esmerlyn Valdez showed real impact potential as a rookie. But is that enough? Alex looks at the Pirates' internal depth, Jake Mangum's role, the possibility of adding another bat and whether someone like Taylor Ward could make an already promising group even better.
