Cole Tucker showed off his defensive wizardry throughout the night in night three of the MLB The Show 20 tournament, but it wasn't enough to get him a win. He drops to 2-10 on the season as he looks to try and finish strong the rest of the way. The MLB The Show 20 Players Tournament hasn't gone the way Cole Tucker would have liked in terms of on-field results. He is just 2-10 in the tournament after his third day of play and is sitting in last place in the NL Central by three games.

He continued to play with flare in night three of the tournament showing off his defensive skills with several Pirates players while playing in competitive games. His night started with a battle against Rhys Hoskins and the Philadelphia Phillies. This was the most competitive game of the tournament for Tucker as the three inning game was tied 0-0 afte...

Heredia is entering his age 29 season and has experience patrolling all three outfield positions. Heredia is one of a number of defensive first signings by new General Manager Ben Cherrington this summer, as he looks to sure up that aspect of th...

As we await the start of the 2020 MLB season due to Corona Virus concerns, we will take a look at every player on the Pirates roster and outline what they will bring to the table and projections for the 2020 season. I hope this brings some positive reading to the current situation and helps us all as we wait for baseball. Let's take a look back at July 31st, 2018. The Pittsburgh Pirates sat at 56-52 and were right in the thick of things in the National League Central race. They were looking for a big move to get them over the top and back into the playoffs for the first time since the 2015 season. Former General Manager Neil Huntington thought he had his man when he pulled the trigger on a trade that sent Austin Meadows, Tyler Glasnow, and Shane Baz to the Tampa Bay Rays for Chris Archer, a former Ace and Cy Young Award candidate, to help bolster the starting rotation. Archer came to Pittsburgh with a lot of hype, but ineffectiveness and injuries have le...
