Shortstop is a wide-open position going into next season. If Triolo continues to produce over the next several weeks at the plate, he may be the frontrunner to be the Opening Day shortstop next season. This also depends, of course, on whether the Pirates would want to sign a shortstop this offseason.

Jared Triolo went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored to help the Pittsburgh Pirates get a 5-1 win against the visiting Colorado Rockies on Saturday.
