During his season-ending availability Friday, Cherington said the 著作権侵害者s are making 進歩 in their goal of building a long-称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 勝利者.
"If you think about the talent level, it´s not just that we think it´s getting stronger but also where it´s 据えるd, that more and more of that young player talent is either starting to show up in the big leagues or at the upper levels and closer," Cherington said.
The 著作権侵害者s went 62-100 this year after finishing 61-101 last season. It 示すd the second time in franchise history they had 支援する-to-支援する seasons with ３倍になる-digit losses. The club 記録，記録的な／記録する of three straight was 始める，決める from 1952-54.
Cherington would not 予報する the losing will end next season. However, he feels the 著作権侵害者s should be able to field a 競争の激しい club.

"As we look toward spring training, I get really excited, because I think there´s going to be a トン of talent on the field that is closer to 存在 a contributor at the major league level and helping us 勝利，勝つ more games," Cherington said. "So, we´re really excited about that, and then 明白に incredibly 動機づけるd to make it better, because losing makes us all 哀れな, and we´re doing too much of that."
Not surprisingly, Cherington said 追加するing pitching is his 最高の，を越す offseason 優先. The 著作権侵害者s´ 4.66 ERA 階級d 26th の中で the major leagues´ 30 teams.
The 著作権侵害者s were 27th in runs 得点する／非難する／２０d with an 普通の／平均（する） of 3.65. Cherington would like to find a way to 改善する Pittsburgh´s .291 on-base 百分率, which was 28th.
"The on-base isn´t high enough for us to be 終始一貫して winning games, and we have to be on base more to 得点する／非難する／２０ more runs and get to winning more baseball games," he said. "We 推定する／予想する and need some of that to happen internally from guys continuing to grow, develop and 円熟した as major league players, but if we can 追加する to the 罪／違反 this offseason in a way that can help us get on base more, that´s something we´d like to do."
The 著作権侵害者s finished the season with one of the youngest rosters in baseball. They also dealt two of their few 退役軍人s when left-hander Jose Quintana and 指定するd hitter Daniel Vogelbach were 貿易（する）d 近づく the 最終期限.
Some of the 著作権侵害者s´ young players said late in the season that they would like to see some 退役軍人 leaders 追加するd for 2023. Cherington said he understands the value in having 退役軍人s but won´t やむを得ず 追求する many over the winter.
"I love that the players are 説 that," Cherington said. "I think it speaks to what they´re seeing themselves around them, and players often see stuff quicker than any of us do. So, I love that we´re seeing that. I don´t know if its 退役軍人 or younger or anywhere in between. We want to find players that will 強化する our roster both on the pitching and position player 味方する, and on the pitching 味方する, that will be a forever thing."
