Pirates bullpen emerges as post-deadline bright spot

The bullpen's post-deadline dominance (2.22 ERA, league-best Ks) is a bright spot amid the team's collapse. Newcomers Bachar, Yates, Doval are delivering, and Montgomery/Ramírez are stepping up. This gives hope for 2027 while acknowledging current pain. However, the bullpen struggled in the 8-2 loss to the Marlins, allowing multiple runs.
