MLB insider connects Pirates to blockbuster trade target Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
The Pittsburgh Pirates' offense still ranks near the bottom of baseball, poorly complementing the team's ascending rotation. Despite not scoring a lot of runs, they continue to hover around .500.

3 reasons the Steelers should be concerned about Donte Jackson
Perhaps the biggest area of need on the Steelers roster entering the 2024 offseason was a running mate for standout rookie corner Joey Porter Jr. He was slow to receive full-time snaps, but once he did he proved his worth as a true number one corner. Unfortunately, the combination of Patrick Peterson and Levi Wallace didn't provide much resistance opposite of him.

OFFENSE – 25 Quarterbacks (3) – Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, Kyle Allen. Analysis: John Rhys Plumlee may have received a record-breaking signing bonus for a Steelers UDFA, but I can’t see him unseating Kyle Allen, who has 19 NFL starts and 26 touchdown passes to his name. That is five fewer starts and double the amount of touchdown passes that Kenny Pickett had, for reference.

3 Steelers who are showing signs of life under Arthur Smith
The Steelers offense has been dreadful for the last few seasons, and calling it dreadful may not even do it justice. They haven't finished inside the top 20 in yards or points since 2020, and they have been one of if not the worst passing teams over the past two seasons.
