Pirates’ Christmas Wishlist to Fill Out Roster (+)
Christmas Eve is upon us, but the Pittsburgh Pirates have plenty of holiday shopping left to do.
The Pirates have made a couple of notable deals so far this winter. Earlier this month, they acquired first baseman Spencer Horwitz in a trade with the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for Luis Ortiz and a pair of pitching prospects.
On Monday, the Pirates formally announced the expected move of re-signing Andrew McCutchen to another one-year contract. McCutchen figures to again serve a prominent role as the team’s designated hitter.
OK, that’s two holes filled, But the Pirates have more to do heading into the 2025 season.
