Brandon Lowe Earns All-MLB Second Team Honors as Free Agency Looms

Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Brandon Lowe has earned All-MLB Second Team honors following an incredible 2026 season where he slugged 35 home runs. Lowe holds a qualifying offer with a November 17 decision deadline and is projected to command a lucrative free-agent contract ranging from $45 million to $150 million. While the Pirates are working to re-sign their primary power threat, potential alternatives like Jazz Chisholm, Luis Arraez, and Jeff McNeil are being evaluated.
