Pirates GM Cherington Confirms 2027 Return Amid Postseason Miss
Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Ben Cherington expects to remain in his role for 2027, citing a focus on long-term development despite missing the postseason. The team finished 81-79, their first winning record since 2018, but Cherington acknowledged the need for improvement in pitching and run prevention. Manager Don Kelly and pitching coach Bill Murphy are expected to stay, while the front office seeks to retain free agent Brandon Lowe and hire a new scouting director.
