What is the biggest need the Pittsburgh Pirates currently have? Shortstop? Absolutely. Starting Pitching? Yes. Relievers? Sure you can never have too much bullpen depth. Outfielders? Well, they signed Lonnie Chisenhall, and when Polanco is healthy the Pittsburgh Pirates project to have one of the best outfields in the National League.
However, the most recent rumor that has surfaced surrounding the Pittsburgh Pirates has them connected to a potential outfielder. Keep in mind that this is also one of the few rumors that have surrounded the club this offseason. It is not like the Bucs are the Seattle Mariners or the New York Mets of the offseason, where they have a new rumor out every day.
