The non-tender deadline has passed and the Pirates made some necessary moves. Bryan De La Cruz, Connor Joe, and Hunter Stratton were all non-tendered. We discuss why these moves were necessary and how this could be the beginning of a unique offseason for the Buccos.

The bullpen is already being addressed with the most recent trade for Guardians RHP Peter Strzelecki. The Pirates send cash considerations for the 30 year old bullpen arm. We discuss the move and other transactions around the NL Central.
