12/08/24	Corner Outfield Among Pirates' Biggest Needs. On the heels of another disappointing season at the plate, reinforcements are needed for the Pittsburgh Pirates if their offense is going to take a step forward in 2025. With the Winter Meetings set to begin on Monday in Dallas, it wouldn't be a shock if Pittsburgh makes a move or two in what has been a quiet offseason thus far. MLB.com broke down every team's biggest need heading into the Winter Meetings and insider Alex Stumpf listed corner outfielder as what Pittsburgh needs to address at some point. "The Pirates decided to part with Bryan De La Cruz and Connor Joe at the non-tender deadline, and after Edward Olivares left via free agency, they are without the three players who had the most playing time in right field last season," Stumpf writes.
