  • This is one in a series of breaking down the Pittsburgh Pirates position groups leading up to spring training. The good news is that the Pittsburgh Pirates have two-thirds of their outfield settled by two of their best hitters.

The article from MSN Sports discusses the Pittsburgh Pirates' outfield situation as they head into the 2024 season. Despite having a solid infield and a promising pitching staff, the outfield remains a significant concern for the team. Key points include the departure of Bryan Reynolds, who was traded to the New York Yankees, leaving a void in center field. The current outfield lineup features Jack Suwinski in left, who showed promise last season, and Connor Joe in right, with no clear starter for center field. The Pirates have prospects like Ji Hwan Bae and Canaan Smith-Njigba, but neither has solidified their position as a long-term solution. The team's management has been criticized for not addressing this issue more aggressively in the offseason, with suggestions that they might look to free agency or trades to bolster this position. The article highlights the need for a reliable center fielder to complement the young talent and improve the team's competitiveness in the upcoming season.
