Three Players Pirates Should Add to Major League Roster (+)

Though the Pittsburgh Pirates aren’t completely eliminated, it’s tough to envision a scenario in which they wind up with a legitimate shot at the postseason in the season’s final stretch.

The Pirates recently snapped a 10-game losing streak that essentially axed any chances they had at returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2015. Not long ago, the Pirates were 2.5 games out of a wild card spot. Now, they are are 8.5 games back while only three teams in the National League have worse records.

Given the current situation, the Pirates should already be looking towards next season, as has often been the case for the better part of the last 30 years.
