The Pittsburgh Pirates Need To Make A Splash In Free Agency

As the 2019 season looms the Pittsburgh Pirates appeared primed to have one of the best starting rotations in the National Leagues. Jameson Taillon, Chris Archer, Trevor Williams, and Joe Musgrove gives the Bucs a top four that can stack up against just about any in the NL. That said, the rotation still needs another piece.

As general manager Neal Huntington discussed at Pirate Fest last weekend, right now the plan is for Jordan Lyles to be the fifth starting pitcher. However, Lyles is better suited to pitch out of the bullpen and that is how the Pirates should be looking to use Lyles.
