At the moment, the Pirates don’t appear intent on moving Starling Marté this offseason, reports MLB.com’s Adam Berry as part of a reader mailbag. In fact, Berry’s sources believe the standout center fielder will open next season in Pittsburgh. Marté being marked off limits in trade would be quite the blow to those shopping for a center field upgrade in a very shallow market. The upcoming free agent class doesn’t boast an obvious everyday option to play up the middle on the grass....

I must say that writing for Bucs Dugout is sort of a dream come true for a kid like me, which many of you may find strange. Allow me to explain, and in the process, share a bit about myself.
I grew up (and I guess am still growing up) in the dark ages of Pirates baseball. I watched an era where my favorite Bucco was Jason Bay and was almost brought to tears the day he was traded. I threw a no-hitter with Zach Duke in a baseball video game once and truly...

When the Pirates made it … well, drizzle for Francisco Cervelli in 2016, the team obviously believed him to be its catcher for a while, despite his lackluster stats on both sides of the plate and his unsettling injury history. As we all know, Cervelli, while being a fan favorite, never fulfilled that small hope and was sent packing this summer, and the Bucs found themselves floundering at the catcher position. Elias Diaz proved that he is not the...

And they were banking on Adam Frazier duplicating his second-half performance from the previous season and solidifying his hold on second base.
Gonzalez, you might recall, was coming off a...

With the Pittsbrugh Pirates offseason firmly upon us, I figured it might a good time to start a weekly series for myself to start plugging away on through the Fall and on into the Winter.
If you read my intro to the Bucs Dugout site back in July, you’ll remember that I’m a big fantasy baseball fan, which makes me a bit of a numbers/projections guy at times. I still use the eye test plenty to help me find players I like, and there’s nothing quite...

In SB Nation’s latest FanPulse survey, we first asked readers what they think will be the best World Series matchup. There was a large constituency of voters who preferred one option, which we may very well get depending on how the next couple of days pan out.
While the St. Louis Cardinals have already been eliminated (thank god!), they were the closest matchup choice to our clear winner.
Below are the final results of the first pole.
