The Pittsburgh Pirates are looking to enhance their lineup but face challenges due to budget constraints. A potential trade target has emerged in Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson, who was the top pick in the 2020 draft.

After a promising 2023 season with 31 home runs, Torkelson's performance regressed in 2024, hitting just .219 with 10 home runs. The Pirates, who struggled with power, ranking 25th in the majors, may find Torkelson a fitting option to boost their offense.
