One thing that could complicate matters is the upcoming CBA negotiations. That could severely impact how much teams have to spend. If there's a new cap system, there would be nothing holding the Pirates back, and they'd actually be in a position to massively increase their payroll. If it's the same old system, they could still try for Lowe, as their payroll commitments are around $53 million guaranteed for 2027 at the moment, and less than that in future years.
Is there any chance for them to resign Lowe?? If not does Gonzalez slide back to 2B? Does not seem like Termarr is the answer there.
