The Pittsburgh Pirates have made a lot of changes to their Front Office. They now have a hired new Farm Director to oversee the Minor League System.

One name that many Pittsburgh Pirates fans wanted to see gone last offseason was Farm Director Larry Broadway. Many speculated that he would be let go by the Bucs due to the lack of player development. If Neal Huntington was to blame, then so was Larry Broadway.

Ben Cherington decided to keep Broadway on his staff. However, he did this with several Front Office people, and at the beginning of the year, he mentioned that more Front Office moves were to come.
