How about bringing up Joshua Palacios. He seemed to come up with big hits last year. And he is now hitting over .300 in AAA.
I'd like to see chisholm jr in a buccos uni. Not only is he a solid player he's also swashbuckly enough to be a Pirate,arrgh!!
Taylor Ward from the Angels would be a great add
DFA Taylor and Grandal send down Suwinski and Triolo, bring up Palacious, Gorski, Pequerro and Davis. They can't do any worse than what's been going on.
The lack of offense kills any and all potential that the pitching provides this team. The Pirates needs to get some bats.
Of course they have to improve internally! They are at the bottom of all offensive categories!!! I don’t want to hear hitting is down across baseball. How about coaching that can help these guys. You never hear how they help these guys always go back to their other hitting coaches or their fathers. He open his mouth and bs rolls out. Like we’re all stupid.
Their biggest hole is their bullpen. How many wasted great starts have they had? Enough to be in first in the division just winning half of them.
The Pirates should absolutely not aim for the playoffs this year. The field manager and coaching staff would take their failures and questionable decision-making into the playoffs, just as they're demonstrating their stark inadequacies and failures during the regular season so far. Clean house first, then build a staff that unequivocally possesses a winning mentality. You can't afford to retain a manager like Shelton who's passively satisfied with the "Sunday lineup card." It's maddening. Clean house.
Suwinski has to be released. .168 avg. There are guys hitting better in the American Association, independant league, like Travis Swaggerty. Suwunski is a flop, and dragging the team down.

He's probably their best outfielder. His hitting can't get much worse, so I think he has the potential to improve
Destin is either the most boring person on the planet or he hates his job. #NoMiddleGround
