The Pittsburgh Pirates are focusing on filling their needs at first base and right field this offseason. They traded several pitchers, including Luis Ortiz, to acquire Spencer Horwitz, a left-handed first baseman. Meanwhile, Nick Yorke, a versatile utility prospect, may secure the right field position after being acquired from the Boston Red Sox.

Manager Derek Shelton praised Yorke's adaptability, noting his experience in multiple positions. Yorke's minor league performance, where he batted .303 with 12 home runs, suggests he could be a valuable asset for the Pirates in 2025, especially alongside established players like Oneil Cruz and Bryan Reynolds.
