🚨 Khristian Curtis will make his MLB debut today

[dick smitten @dicksmitten]

Be crazy not to

[Konnor Griffin Lover @KonnorGLover]

Is it crazy to call Konnor Griffin a star at this point?

[dick smitten @dicksmitten]

Alright we slithered out of it but still he hangs everything over the plate.

[dick smitten @dicksmitten]

Cant help but notice Lawrence loses us every game he comes in @Pirates

[Pittsburgh Pirates @Pirates]

OFFICIAL: We have signed INF Konnor Griffin to a nine-year contract extension that runs through the 2034 season.

[Nick Gonzales’ Mustache @nickygsmustache]

Cap off the offseason and get Paredes. People would fear this team.

[SleeperPirates @SleeperPirates]

What player are you most looking forward to watching throughout Spring Training❓

Konnor Griffin is the easy answer, but I am all in on Mason Montgomery⛽️

[dick smitten @dicksmitten]

Yes

[Austin Oravec @AustinOravec]

Here was the Pirates opening day lineup in 2025:

1. LF Tommy Pham
2. RF Bryan Reynolds
3. CF Oneil Cruz
4. C Joey Bart
5. DH Andrew McCutchen
6. 2B Nick Gonzales
7. 1B Endy Rodriguez
8. 3B Ke’Bryan Hayes
9. SS Isiah Kiner-Falefa

Is their 2026 lineup significantly better?

[dick smitten @dicksmitten]

Fuck defense honestly. The Pirates have been so bad on offense for so long I welcome this structure honestly

[1986-92 Pittsburgh Pirates @1992Pirates]

First look at 2026 Pittsburgh Pirates lineup:

DH Oneil Cruz
DH Bryan Reynolds
DH Brandon Lowe
DH Ryan O’Hearn
DH Marcel Ozuna
1B Spencer Horwitz
3B Jared Triolo
SS Nick Gonzales
C Henry Davis

@rounder829 Pirates were going to have to re-use players from last years roster. Unreasonable to think we trade or sign for every position in an offseason. Triolo and Nicky G know what it means to be good pros. Suwinski….. not holding my breath for him.

[dick smitten @dicksmitten]

I understand doom and gloom follow us Buccos fans but lets not bad mouth our best offseason in a decade.

[Ryan @rounder829]

Suddenly this offseason kinda hits differently doesn't it?

-Traded for Lowe which was a given they would deal pitching for hitting

-Traded more pitching for a hitter that prob won't make the team out of ST

-Sign O'Hearn to 2-year deal who was a DFA guy just three years ago

[dick smitten @dicksmitten]

Great looking mock. I think too many other teams have these guys on their boards though.

[BriskerBurgh 🎙️ @BriskerBurgh]

How would you guys feel about this mock…

Trading up to jump Baltimore for Caleb Downs

[dick smitten @dicksmitten]

@rounder829 Its just tough to be bad mouthing them when the offseason was a net positive, no matter where the bar was set. I for one am thankful I am not having the same feelings of hopelessness like last offseason. Not to mention this past trade deadline disasters

[dick smitten @dicksmitten]

You are the most miserable fan ever and I wish you would cry somewhere else because it never stops

[Kody Duncan @KodyDuncanPGH]

There is no other player on the market to be a viable option for 3B. It was Eugenio Suarez or bust at this point.

Now Jared Triolo and Nick Gonzales will be our left side of the infield to start the season.

So much for that promising start to the offseason…
