Summary
The Pittsburgh Pirates’ bullpen remains their biggest weakness heading into the trade deadline, despite overall team improvements. While adding another starter could help, the real priority is finding reliable, league-average relievers—not chasing big-name drama like Aroldis Chapman. Instead, they should target steady arms like Chase Shugart or Hunter Stratton to stabilize their relief corps and make an immediate impact. The minor league depth built last summer shows promise, but winning now likely means looking outside for proven arms. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
