The Pittsburgh Pirates are planning for a crucial winter, aiming to break from mediocrity and push for the postseason for the first time in a decade.
According to The Athletic's Jim Bowden, the Pirates have been listed as potential fits for several top 50 free agents, including Trent Grisham and Luis Arráez.
The Pirates have holes to fill in the lineup and bullpen, and despite historically avoiding substantial free agent splashes, they may make larger moves due to mounting pressure.
Trent Grisham is coming off a strong season with the Yankees, with a slash line of .235/.348/.464 and career-highs in home runs (34) and RBI (74) in 143 games.
