@jcaruso172 @AJCNY @JMackey_PGH Newman ~hit~ .606 in ‘21 Spring Training then followed it up with a sub .600 OPS in the regular season. More interested in batted ball info than I am interested in a players batting average in a small sample of games in March
English
English
@AJCNY @JMackey_PGH Hes barreling the ball in his outs and if he finishes top 2 in rookie of the year voting he gets a full yr of service for 2026 anyway
English
@JMackey_PGH No way. He’ll be in Indy for two months to preserve a year of eligibility. He also needs to do more that hit HRs.
English
@surfnikiNLR @catturd2 Leaving a Cabinet level appointment for a “special envoy” job that did not exist until this afternoon is not a promotion, they are banishing her. Theyre only doing this because the go-to banishment role of UN Ambassador was already given to Waltz
English
@FoulTerritoryTV I love Cutch but honestly the team needed to get better. If we brought him back i have a feeling alot of these podcasts would be critiquing the org for doing the “same thing” and not competing. Theres no room for him on the roster
English
The Pirates don't see the proper value in Andrew McCutchen.
"Think about how good Konnor Griffin could be if he had him in the dugout talking to him. That's invaluable."
English
@NorthShoreNine He will hit 35 fraudulent, altitude assisted homers in the Pacific Coast League and the discourse will be horrible
English
Jack Jack to the Dodgers!
After being designated by the Pirates, the Los Angeles Dodgers have claimed him. Now in a no pressure situation with an organization known for turning players around (Max Muncy) this seems like a good fit for the guy who hit 26 HR in 2023.
What are your thoughts?

@RonDeSantis With Skenes and Griffin we will have Buctober this year Governor
English
Grit. Toughness. Resilience. Perseverance. Loyalty.
That's what the Pittsburgh Pirates are.

It's DK's Birthday! Happy Birthday to our manager, Don Kelly 🎂

@BDrivens @JaredLankes Roman Anthony signed on a few weeks after debuting, Carroll/Merrill signed them after a yr of service
English
@JaredLankes I would be interested to know how many American born players that are supposed tp be SUPERSTARS accept those extensions.
I feel like its mostly Internationally born players.
Konnor will reach free agency at 26 years old and make a fortune.
English
I just feel there is a decent chance we see a Konnor Griffin extension before the season. The Pirates haven’t done a deal like that before but this seems like the prime opportunity to. It’s his job to lose this spring. They are acting like he’s gonna be their opening day SS.
English
@ThePoniExpress Castellanos had a -12 outs above average in RF last year, one of the worst in the league. Which is funny because he had a -12 OAA the last time he played 3B almost 8 years ago. His OPS is in line with Jared Triolo’s lmao
English
Great Pirates insider Jason Mackey does NOT see Nick Castellanos as a Pirates option at 3B.
Shame. I'd give him a shot there.
English
@EZpitchsavant @SleeperMets Theyve spent the entire offseason trying in vain to add offense theyre not trading a major league bat to acquire another
English
@SleeperMets I would go after their young arms. Jared Jones, Hunter Barco... The aren't trading Bubba Chandler. I would love to see us get Oneil Cruz and a pitcher in a deal. That would be awesome
English
Thinking about the Pirates, what would a trade even look like???
SleeperMets@SleeperMets
UPDATE The Pirates are engaged in talks with the Mets surrounding Mark Vientos or Brett Baty per @ThePoniExpress
English
@DanZangrilli a guy in his 3rd year of arbitration =/= Skenes in his 1st year of arbitration
English
This may very well end the Paul Skenes era in Pittsburgh after 2026.
Jeff Passan@JeffPassan
BREAKING: Two-time reigning American League Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal won his arbitration case and will make $32 million this year, sources tell ESPN. Skubal’s bet to go for the largest salary ever in the arbitration system paid off, as he’ll make $13M more than Tigers argued.
English
Welcome to Headquarters, the new Gen-Z led progressive content hub.
English
@SleeperMets Do you really think Pittsburgh would trade him for Mark Vientos?
English
@dmalatnick @NorthShoreNine @Ken_Rosenthal Adding a pitcher lets them trade another prospect for a bat
English
@NorthShoreNine @Ken_Rosenthal They need a bat plain and simple
English
WHOA!
After missing on Eugenio Suárez, the Pirates are pivoting to Framber Valdez.
Offense didn’t happen, so are they doubling down on pitching? Is this the right move for 2026?
(via @Ken_Rosenthal)
English
@JMackeyPG @JMackeyPG would a Bart, Termarr, Harrington, Jebb trade for Bohm work
English
Will be interesting to see where the Pirates go from here.
They need another bat.
Do they trade for a third baseman or pivot a little and pursue probably the best remaining bat in Marcell Ozuna?

@GHoyle82 @KodyDuncanPGH It was Ken Rosenthal speculating that Suarez might prefer a team more solidly contending
English
ESPN predicted the Pittsburgh Pirates will trade for Nick Castellanos while also mentioning the Phillies would take on most of his contract.
They also predicted the Pirates would sign Eugenio Suarez for 2 years $42 million dollars.
Honestly sign me up for both.
