There should be no doubt that Neal Huntington will add to this team in some way over the next few days.
Since 2011, the Pirates have been buyers in some form. The last two years they played the middle ground, selling off pending free agents while also buying cheaper short-term rentals to help the team. In previous years they were strictly buyers, all while taking different approaches along the way.
There were years like 2011 and 2015 where they mostly focused in taking on salary for some under-the-radar type additions, sending very little out in terms of a prospect return.
