## Resource

The Pittsburgh Pirates are turning heads as a surprise playoff contender in 2026, but their shaky bullpen—especially with struggling closer Gregory Soto—threatens their deep run. ESPN’s David Schoenfield proposes a bold fix: bringing back Aroldis Chapman, the 38-year-old lefty fireballer with elite stats and a potential contract extension bonus if he hits 40 innings. This move could be the game-changer the Pirates need to roar into October.
