The question is simple: Will the Pirates actually be a good ballclub, or will we continue to do absolutely nothing?

Well, if the offseason is any indicator, we may have a decent roster on our hands. Don't know if it'll be enough to make the playoffs, but I hope it will be.

Here are the major changes heading into 2026:
- Pirates trade Johan Oviedo and change for Jhostynxon Garcia and pitching prospect Jesus Travieso.
- Reliever Gregory Soto heads to Pittsburgh for 7.75 million.
- Pirates acquire Brandon Lowe as part of a three-team deal. Also acquired outfielder Jake Mangum and left-hander Mason Montgomery.
- Ryan O'Hearn signs for the Pirates, 2 years and 29 million.
- We traded for Marcell Ozuna
- We offered Schwarber 100 million dollars

I probably missed something major, but that's the bulk of our transactions heading into spring training.

Nonetheless, let's do our best to enjoy another year of Pirates baseball.
