Staff Shakeups for Pirates to Consider (+)

The expectation is that Derek Shelton will be back to manage the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2025. At least, general manager Ben Cherington said as much earlier this month.

On another note, nobody knows for sure as to whether or not Cherington returns next season. Nobody in the organization has said anything to to contrary, but no one has said he’ll be back either.

For now, let’s just assume that both Cherington and Shelton will continue to lead the Pirates. If that assumption is accurate, changes need to come in other forms.
