2019-20 Pirates: Review & Coming+Going

[Cardinals]

Pittsburgh had another successful season capturing the NL Central title, but injuries to Mike Trout and Joey Gallo made competing for a title an extremely uphill battle.

Still, I would've liked to at least win a playoff series but Bishop's Cubs were scrappy and beat up on my bullpen.

Always looking to improve in 2020, and it looks like Pirates fans will have a legitimate ace to cheer for again in Scherzer. Only untouchables are Trout and Yadi -- so if you have any offers, feel free to send them my way.
