One of the biggest questions about the Pittsburgh Pirates and their immediate future is whether or not manager Derek Shelton will return next year. He holds a 127-214 record in three seasons as Pirates head coach, with numerous questionable decisions and many fans wondering if this would be he final season.
Yesterday, before Pittsburgh’s 5-4 defeat of the Cincinnati Reds, General Manager Ben Cherington said he expects Shelton back in 2023.
