Starkey & Mueller

The Pirates are running it back with Ben Cherington as GM, but don’t worry, Travis Williams told the media yesterday that they are building a playoff team for 2026. Period – full stop. The front office is making claims of ‘momentum’ going into next season. How? The Pirates have a good, young pitching staff – that is a fact. The offense was historically bad and it is the 6th year of a regime. Derek Shelton was the scapegoat, even though he was not good in his role, he was part of the issue.
