About our Pittsburgh Pirates news

Latest news on Pittsburgh Pirates, covering MLB baseball, trades, player updates, Bucs, PNC Park, National League Central standings, and game results.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are a storied Major League Baseball franchise competing in the National League Central Division. Founded in 1882 and joining the National League in 1887, the Pirates have captured five World Series championships throughout their history.

Following a challenging 2025 season that saw the team finish 71-91 and extend their playoff drought to a decade, the Pirates have made significant changes. Manager Derek Shelton was dismissed in May after a 12-26 start, with bench coach Don Kelly taking over the helm. The Pirates have responded with an active offseason, signing All-Star first baseman Ryan O'Hearn to a two-year deal—their first multi-year free agent signing in nine years—and acquiring second baseman Brandon Lowe in a three-team trade.

The franchise's brightest star is ace pitcher Paul Skenes, who made history by winning the 2024 National League Rookie of the Year award and following it with a unanimous 2025 National League Cy Young Award. Skenes became only the second player to win these awards in consecutive seasons since Dwight Gooden in the 1980s. The Pirates' roster also features two-time All-Star outfielder Bryan Reynolds and other emerging talents who provide hope for the franchise's future at PNC Park, their home since 2001.

The Pirates boast a rich heritage dating back to legends like Honus Wagner, who led the team to its first World Series title in 1909, and Roberto Clemente, whose legacy extends far beyond his on-field excellence. The 1960 team delivered one of baseball's most dramatic moments when Bill Mazeroski hit a walk-off home run to win Game 7 of the World Series. The 1979 championship team, nicknamed "The Lumber Company" and rallying around the anthem "We Are Family," captured the franchise's fifth title with Willie Stargell and Dave Parker leading the way.

Stay informed about every development with our NewsNow feed on the Pittsburgh Pirates, offering comprehensive, up-to-date coverage from reliable sources. Whether you're tracking roster moves, following Paul Skenes' dominance, or monitoring the team's rebuild under owner Bob Nutting and general manager Ben Cherington, our feed delivers the news that matters to Bucs fans everywhere.
