Welcome to my new blog! My name is Michael and I created this blog to track the progress of both sides of the Pirates trades this season. I am 16 years old, therefore, have never seen the Pirates have a winning season. I was/am unsure how these trades are going to turnout for the Pirates, Yankees, and Red Sox, but I look forward to tracking the players' progresses on this blog.

Thanks for visiting and check back soon for updates!

Mike
