Recently, Pittsburgh Pirates General Manager Ben Cherington spoke about the offseason. He made some interesting comments about the first baseman position.

As of now, it is looking like the National League will revert back to their pre-2020 rules. It has been reported on multiple fronts that National League Executives are planning for a 2021 season without the designated hitter. So what does this mean for the Pittsburgh Pirates?

Last year the Pittsburgh Pirates saw Josh Bell continue his second half of 2019. Meanwhile, Colin Moran enjoyed a breakout season and after the Ke’Bryan Hayes promotion, Moran continued to have success at first base.
