The Pirates have crawled their way back into the playoff race, an 11 game win streak will certainly do that for you. Their playoff odds are still 13.2 percent, making it more likely they miss out than make it, but they owe it the current group of players to add something for their stretch and getting back into the race.
Being they are only wild card contenders, adding a monumental addition wouldn’t make all that much sense. However, finding the marginal upgrades for 2018, or upgrades and players for the upcoming seasons, is the most likely path.
