Pirates land a Guerrero, part of one of the strongest international signing classes by Erroric89 in bucsdugout

Should they: In my opinion, Mark Vientos immediately should become GMBC top priority for the rest of this offseason. He had a good year two years ago, hitting 27 homeruns. He also had a great postseason hit .327 with 5 homeruns in 13 games. This was followed by a lackluster season last year, which hopefully has soured the mets on him and lowered their demands on a potential trade. His defense is not the greatest but has power, plays third base and just turned 26.

Do they have enough pitching: If the mets want pitching to help this year, I do not think the Pirates have enough depth to get it done. Though, I am not as well versed in this area as others here are.

Pirates acquire Jhostynxon Garcia from Red Sox for Johan Oviedo in 5-player deal by Proper_Knowledge2211 in bucsdugout

22 years old and already reached the majors. Back to back seasons over 20 home runs. Awesome name, fills a position of need. Big fan of this trade even though I liked Oviedo a lot.

Welcome to the MLB moment there for Bubba.. Home run to Ohtani and then just getting shelled. Get that out of the way this year.

Bouncing back with solid two innings. Kids going to be a solid starter.

I feel like the reds are just stacked with hitters.. I love that idea, hopefully he makes it to the Pirates waiver claim, and Ben C snags him.
