The Pittsburgh Pirates gave off the buzz that they'd be active this offseason.
So far, they have been. They've made multiple trades and also worked in free agency.
Their lineup has added Ryan O'Hearn, Brandon Lowe, Jhostynxon Garcia and Jake Mangum.
But are they done?
That's the question asked by MLB.com's Anthony Castrovince. Will the Pirates go further with this?
"The question here isn’t complicated," Castrovince wrote on Thursday. "How far is Pittsburgh willing to take its most ambitious offseason in years? Can the Pirates pull off yet another swap for a hitter, or might the price tags in the remaining free-agent market become palatable for them?"

The Pirates have a strong pitching staff, led by Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller.
Their lineup has more promise than it did when the winter started, and they've got phenom Konnor Griffin rising quickly through the minors to add to that.
But the Pirates could show just how serious they are by making even another move or two.
They haven't been as rumored in recent developments as they were earlier in the offseason, so maybe they're shutting it down for the most part.
This would still be a winter of growth for the Pirates, but will it be enough?
It could be worth another move or two just to ensure that these undertakings are worth it when teams get back on the field.
