Jan 13 2073: Offseason, retirement - by Bennett11 on February 21st, 202636 yr old closer Robert Fraser hangs it up after 12 seasons. He logged 541 saves in 900 innings with a 3.15 era, 3 all stars and 5 all league seasons. One of our greatest.
Ramon Bonilla won rookie of the year, with an .303 ba and 16 HR, and Pete McCurry won the cy young award in his first year with the team, with a 3.15 ERA in 210 innings and 20 quality starts. This fueled a 96 win team that’s eager to add this offseason.
We hope to continue this success
Oct 30 2072: On the rise - by Bennett11 on February 18th, 2026
After a horrid season last year, this new group clicked. Our young guys came through and our pitchers held a team ERA of 3.45, our batting numbers shot up significantly as well. Yet we finish 96-64 and in second place. Jenkins will return for a 4th season as manager. And we look to build up in the offseason and move up again. Great season all around

Apr 24 2072: 500!!! - by Bennett11 on December 30th, 2025
35 yr old closer Robert Fraser picked up is 500th save the other night for the pirates. A accomplishment that truly might never be touched on our team again as he continues to pitch incredible year after year. The pirates are 13-7 and continue to make a push for promotion with a great early start to the year, go buccos!!!
Oct 22 2071: End of an era - by Bennett11 on November 30th, 2025
After a disappointing 75-85 season, the pirates will be demoted. Manager Gavin Jenkins will return for year 3 on a short leash. A positive was 1B Rangel tieing our franchise single season home run record with 40. But as the season closed the pirates received the news they feared, Ivan Daley is retiring. Both he and 1B Jose Luis alaya will be inducted into the hall.
Daley, 36 has been a catcher/DH for 14 seasons, our team leader and at one point made 12 straight all star games. Is in the top 5 of every major franchise career records besides HR (9th), over 2,000 career hits and was widely respected throught the organization. Our best seasons rode on his coattails and he showed what true dominance at his position was. We have found his successor for now in 27 yr old C Reyes, but nobody can fill his void for our organization. We wish him the best and hope he can rejoin the team in some aspect in the future.
