After a string of losing seasons in the 1980s, the Pirates began to rebuild under manager Jim Leyland. A series of trades brought third baseman Bobby Bonilla, shortstop Jay Bell, pitcher Doug Drabek, and outfielder Andy Van Slyke on to the Pirates' roster to join outfielder Barry Bonds. From 1990 to 1992 the Pirates won three straight division crowns. In both 1990 and 1992, Leyland was named NL manager of the year and Bonds was NL MVP. By the mid-1990s, however, Pittsburgh had dropped out of contention.

After the 1992 season, manager Jim Leyland set out to rebuild the team, giving up several high-payroll players in favor of a younger crew. The Pirates have been unable to come up with a winning season since, accumulating a 15-year losing streak. The longest losing streak was set by the Philadelphia Phillies accounting for 16 seasons which lasted from 1933- 1948, the longest in any of the country's four major professional sports leagues.The closest to a winning team was the 1997 "Freak Show" team, which finished second in the NL Central. It was eliminated during the season's final week, despite having a losing record and a payroll of only $9 million.
