Pittsburgh Pirates

Looking to secure not only a postseason berth but the NL Central division title, the Pittsburgh Pirates have added a pair of veteran bats in a deal with the New York Mets.

Pittsburgh Pirates closer Jason Grilli was placed on the disabled list, but his absence won't derail the team's playoff chances.

If I had myself a private audience with the Pope of the Tigers, Jim Leyland, I’d pretty much just have one question for him.

Though he won both of them, Gerrit Cole barely looked like a major league-caliber pitcher in the first two starts of his career.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have to be thinking that all they need to do is keep their heads above water until the All-Star break. The fear that another late-season collapse is impending can’t be weighing on their minds. 

Gerrit Cole showed the MLB why the Pittsburgh Pirates drafted him No. 1 overall in the 2011 MLB Draft, dominating the San Francisco Giants for 6.1 innings on Tuesday night.

Pitch counts, innings limit...they're all terms we've heard over the last year.

From Stephen Strasburg to various rookies in the big leagues for the first time, managers and general managers alike have taken an interest in saving the arms of their young players.

It's a debut many Pittsburgh Pirates fans have anxiously been awaiting since the 2011 MLB draft.

Top right-handed pitching prospect Gerrit Cole will finally make his MLB debut Tuesday night against the San Francisco Giants, according to the Pirates' official Twitter account:

Another example of the baseball card collector's "holy grail" is on the auction block.  Just a few weeks after a T206 Honus Wagner tobacco card brought $2.1 million, another one of the 1909 rarities is up for bid.

The Pittsburgh Pirates' difficult start to the 2013 season encountered another obstacle Monday night, as starting pitcher Wandy Rodriguez left the Bucs' 5-3 victory in the third inning with a tight left hamstring.
