With the dawn of the New Year and spring training already fast approaching, I thought it would be a good idea to at least begin a list of New Years’ Resolutions for the Pittsburgh Pirates this upcoming season. The frustration that seemed to define the 2019 season cannot continue to hang over the heads of the players, coaches, and new management headed into the new year.
While the new regime under team president Travis Williams and general manager Ben Cherington has done a fine job thus far revamping for the coming years in terms of coaching hires and cultural changes, there are several things the organization as a whole needs to do better this year in order to come closer to fielding a successful team both on and off the field.
