In what we hope will be a fairly normal Major League Baseball season, the Pittsburgh Pirates will try to shift into a slightly higher gear than where they were in 2020. Last season saw a terrible Pirate club limp to the finish line of a 60 game season in what was a historically bad performance by record. Are the Pirates that bad? Probably not, but we also shouldn’t expect them to make many strides in 2021, particularly if the front office continues to (rightfully) trade older pieces that likely wouldn’t be around anyway the next time the team contends.
