Can the complimentary pieces of the Pittsburgh Pirates bullpen make it a top-10 unit in baseball?
February 08, 2024 12:00 - 30 minutes - 28.1 MBOn the last 2024 Player Review Series episode, we discussed the potential of David Bednar, Aroldis Chapman and Colin Holderman being among MLB's best trio of relievers. Well, strong bullpen's aren't dictated by three players. Can the rest of the bullpen, with names like Carmen Mlodzinski, Ryan Borucki and Dauri Moreta standing out, make the Pirates bullpen group a top-10 unit in all of baseball?

With the rotation still needing spots filled, one of the three must step up for the organization in 2024, and maybe Oscar Marin's job. Who will get the most opportuni...
