Pirates Face Long Climb To First Division Ahead
Pittsburgh Pirates appear headed for a prolonged rebuild with Branch Rickey as GM, as key veterans are in service and pitching depth is thin. The infield struggles and uncertain first base duties, plus questions at catcher and outfield, mark a long road to contention. Richman notes the club may be improved but is far from a NL power in coming seasons.
