The Pittsburgh Pirates face pressing needs this offseason, particularly in bolstering their bullpen, which ranked poorly in ERA and had numerous blown saves. Closer David Bednar struggled significantly, raising concerns about his performance moving forward.

MLB analyst Mark Feinsand suggested that the Pirates should consider signing Texas Rangers reliever José Leclerc, who has a solid track record and could provide necessary support. Improving the bullpen is essential for the Pirates to enhance their competitiveness in the upcoming season.
