In a recent article written on this site, we pointed out that the Pittsburgh Pirates did not have a top ranked prospect at the first base position. While the position is usually extremely deep in terms of free agents and in the trade market, the future of first base for the Bucs could be up in the air. Right now, as it stands, who is the answer at first base for the Bucs in the next few seasons?
The first answer you’ll probably think of is Josh Bell. Bell is coming off an impressive season, and has improved in some way every season since his solid 2017 rookie campaign.
