The Pittsburgh Pirates have a chance to break an extended postseason drought that dates back to 2015.
To accomplish the feat, they may need to add another arm or two to their bullpen.
The Athletic's Jim Bowden wrote Monday that could be the Pirates' main focus as the trade deadline nears.
"The Pirates are concentrating on improving their run prevention, specifically by beefing up the bullpen with a difference-making back-end reliever," Bowden wrote.
