An old football adage says ‘if you have two quarterbacks, you don’t really have one.’ Well, in the case of the Pittsburgh Pirates this applies to left field and instead of having two, the Pirates have six.
Despite having six left fielders, do the Pittsburgh Pirates even have one? Well, right now, it appears that the answer to that question very well may be no.
When Spring Training began the left field position for the Pittsburgh Pirates was a battle between Adam Frazier, Jordan Luplow, and Sean Rodriguez. Since the start of Spring Training, the Pirates have signed Daniel Nava and Michael Saunders to minor league contracts while also trading for Bryce Brentz.
