You won't need Yankee-Dodger-Mets-Atlanta money; but trying to accomplish anything on the current Pirate budget is an exercise in futility. At least they have done a few long-term contracts; but good players still get away, due to money. All those trades to jettison big contracts. It would be nice to sign a **** free agent SP once in awhile. Still tough. It's a long way back.

Certainly. I did an A’s rebuild in ver23. First year was pretty rough
I do like having Skenes with the Pirates. Will be interesting to see how he may develop.
I was kinda pushing to see if San Francisco would win out, but Pittsburgh was probably my 2nd or 3rd choice. Should be a fun challenge
