This season saw the three-time defending National League East champions fall to fifth place in the division with a 75–87 record. In the offseason, the National League expanded to 14 teams and Barry Bonds left the Pirates and signed with the San Francisco Giants. This season was the first of the Pirates' record-setting twenty straight losing seasons.
