WASHINGTON — Eighty players arrived at Truist Park last July for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game. But as they flew home or to their team’s next road city, an unlikely pair boarded the same charter flight bound for Tampa, Fla. One played for the Rays, the other the Orioles. They

PITTSBURGH – Pittsburgh has the most pool money in this year’s MLB Draft, totaling $19,130,700 to upgrade its organization in 2026. The Pirates have succeeded in the first round in recent years, adding Paul Skenes with the first overall pick in 2023 and Konnor Griffin with the ninth pick in

It may have taken Edward Florentino some time to adjust to High-A ball, but playing to his power has him on a bit of a hot streak. MLB’s No. 30 prospect homered twice in Greensboro’s 10-7 loss to Bowling Green on Sunday afternoon at First National Bank Field. Florentino's second

WASHINGTON -- Contrary to 2025, slugging has not been an issue for the Pirates this season.

The Pirates didn’t slug much on the Fourth of July at Nationals Park, perhaps saving the fireworks

WASHINGTON — Pirates manager Don Kelly was thrilled to tell Paul Skenes he was an All-Star for the third time in three seasons.

PHILADELPHIA -- It’s a rarity to see the designated hitter bring out the lineup card. As veteran Marcell Ozuna hoped for the Pirates to get hot in late June, he asked manager Don Kelly to have the honor. The 35-year-old Ozuna is taking on a different role in his 14th

We’re now just a week away from “go time” – the start of the 2026 MLB Draft. And yes, that means this is our penultimate mock (Man, I love that word). Jim Callis and I will provide one more final projection of the top 40 picks late on Friday, on

PHILADELPHIA — Despite their overall offensive production, the Pirates have experienced issues this season hitting with runners in scoring position.

Roch Cholowsky entered 2026 as the strongest favorite to go first overall in the Draft at the outset of a year since Adley Rutschman in 2019. He's still the best all-around college shortstop since Troy Tulowitzki two decades ago, he led UCLA to a No. 1 ranking from the preseason
