## Resource

The Pirates are betting big on Jacob Gonzalez, who just slid into the starting shortstop role after a blockbuster trade with the White Sox. With regular shortstop Konnor Griffin sidelined for months, Gonzalez — a minor league shortstop veteran with major league power potential — gets his first real shot at the hot corner. Hitting eighth, he’s bringing a hot bat from Triple-A and a solid glove to fill the void. The Pirates need him to deliver both offense and defense as they navigate the stretch run without their usual infield anchor.
