The Pittsburgh Pirates made a pivotal decision when they decided to extend manager Don Kelly. However, his coaching staff is set to see some changes as the Pirates prepare for 2026. During the 2025 campaign, the Pirates finished seventh in the league with a 3.76 ERA. It's clear they needed to make some form of change, as the 2025 season marked their 10th straight season missing the playoffs. The Pirates will continue to build their pitching staff and franchise around him.
