The Pittsburgh Pirates made their first move of the offseason by extending Don Kelly’s contract to remain manager. He’s the right fit, at the right time, and is the right person to lead us forward.”Kelly became the Pirates’ 42nd manager when he was promoted from bench coach after Shelton’s dismissal. “I’m proud to continue leading the Pirates,” Kelly said in a statement. “Our clubhouse is full of players who care deeply about each other, about winning, and about representing Pittsburgh the right way. He is deeply trusted by our players because he’s credible, consistent, and unafraid of tough conversations,” Pirates general manager Ben Cherington said in a statement.
