Summary

The Pirates need to add bullpen help at the trade deadline, but getting the 2025 version of Dennis Santana back would be a major addition by itself. Alex Stumpf examines Santana’s command problems, changing pitch usage, mechanical concerns and how much longer the Pirates can afford to wait for him to turn things around.
