Pirates Listed as Potential Fit for Top Free Agents
The Pittsburgh Pirates are game planning for a crucial winter, looking to break from mediocrity and push for the postseason for the first time in a decade.
The Athletic's Jim Bowden listed the Pirates as potential fits for several top 50 free agents, including Trent Grisham and Luis Arráez, to fill holes in the lineup and bullpen.
Grisham is coming off a strong season with the Yankees, slashing .235/.348/.464 and setting career-highs in home runs (34) and RBI (74) in 143 games.
The Pirates have historically shied away from substantial free agent splashes, but mounting pressure could lead to larger swings this winter.
