    The Pittsburgh Pirates are all-in as they chase the franchise's first playoff appearance in 21 years.

    Pittsburgh traded for longtime Minnesota Twins first baseman Justin Morneau on Saturday, hoping the four-time All Star can give the Pirates' middling offense a jolt heading into the final month of the season.

    "We felt that this move gives us a better chance to play in October, a better chance to win the division, a better chance to advance in October," Pirates general manager Neal Huntington said.

    It's going to be really strange seeing him in a Pirates uniform.
