MLBPA complains about Marlins, Pirates
The complaint was centered around whether the teams are properly spending their revenue-sharing money in order to improve. The commissioner's office later responded with a statement defending the two clubs.
They aren't the only ones complaining.

the 68 win Reds lost 5 WAR Zach Cozart and added two middle relievers
The genius is they have set the bar so low for so long they never get named in these complaints from the players union. Everyone knows they are actually trying to win.

It probably won't matter, but I like it anyway.

Whoop-de-doo, it's opening day tomorrow. 
Prediction
Even if everything actually goes right for this squad, it’s going to be hard to compete within the division. At their best, they’ll probably just barely get to a .500 record, good for third or fourth within the N.L. Central. At their worst, they could see the cellar in a division with the Cubs, Brewers, Cardinals, and Reds using the Bucs as a punching bag. They play in a difficult division and the talent will not hold up for 162 games. They’ll once again finish as a mediocre baseball team, hanging out around 70-75 wins and not accomplishing much of anything. Postseason berths and blackouts at PNC Park in October are firmly in the rear view mirror.
For the Pittsburgh Pirates, .500 is the bar once again

Michael Feliz had a fine debut with the Pirates, entering the game with a 4-2 lead and leaving after 3 outs...I mean runs. Three runs, no outs. Check that, FOUR runs.
Yeah, that Cole trade is already paying dividends.
