The Pittsburgh Pirates fired manager Derek Shelton today.  Shelton had managed the Bucs since 2020 and his teams met with little success during his tenure.  This year's team is 12-26 and has lost seven straight.  Bench coach Donnie Kelly will manage the team for the remainder of 2025.  The next game for the Pirates is Friday at home vs. Atlanta.
