Sources tell me Pirates GM Ben Cherington and the Marlins GM are “in a boxing match to decide the final piece of the Edward Cabrera trade”
If Cherington wins it will be Mitch Jebb. If he loses it will be Jun-Seok Shim.
Stay tuned
Expecting Henry Davis to catch like 5+ games per week after catching 2 MLB innings last year is ridiculous. Signing Gary Sanchez would makes perfect sense for the Pirates
It’s actually very impressive that Cherington has failed in every attempt to boost the Pirates roster.
His streak of failure is truly incredible.

Man, if only Bob Nutting was worth over a billion dollars and has had opportunities to prove he’s not just an unambitious loser that doesn’t care about the product on the field

This morning’s Pirates trade article isn’t accurate — at least not now.
It’s a prewrite, which we do for breaking news. Prepare, adjust/delete when we know.
Due to a system glitch we’re now investigating, it somehow went out on a secondary app.
Sorry for confusion/false hope.
Not gonna lose sleep over a AA hitting coach getting fired (Nunnally has free time to coach Hayes now, anyways). Nothing in that Athletic article is that new it’s just confirming things Pirates fans knew/thought

I actually think this will develop into a decent lineup in 2024 but I’m sure many disagree. Would make it a Palacios/Olivares platoon in RF as of now.
Am told Notre Dame, as a full voting member of the ACC, is pushing hard for the additions of Stanford and Cal. That "full voting member" part is ... something. Writing on this shortly.
@BleacherNation
They absolutely deadened the balls for his debut, there is no other scenario to where that ball isn’t a home run. It even had a 9mph wind out to center.
Ideal Pirates off-season:
Shota Imanaga (4 yrs 72M)
James Paxton (1 yr 12M)
Andrew McCutchen
Carlos Santana
Vince Velasquez (depth/bullpen)
Sign/trade for 2B or CF
Extend Mitch Keller
Orioles GM Mike Elias has joined the boxing match, per source. It is now a three-way brawl.
If Elias wins the fight, the Orioles will acquire Jesus Luzardo. If Cherington wins, Pirates get Edward Cabrera. Marlins starters are in high demand.
Stay tuned

While people are pushing agendas I’d like to point out that Kenny Pickett lost 38-3 when he played in Buffalo and then regressed as a player this season

The Pirates’ broadcast is continuing to push this weird narrative about them having “the best bullpen in baseball” that I’ve seen pop up in a few places on here.
And don’t get me wrong, Bednar/Chapman is nice… but I feel like they’re taking some major liberties with a few guys.
@IcyGamel
My sources tell me it’s Jazz Chisholm instead off Braxton Garrett. Please stop spreading misinformation and leave this to the very serious 100% real reporters

If I released the full details of my five year investigation into what I call "The Pittsburgh Baseball Network", it might end up being nothing. It might also break the fucking republic.
The investigation started with a simple question: Was my site an unknowing and unwilling

@JBRBracketology
I’m making a hot take that the committee sacrifices Oklahoma. Partially for a bad Q1+2 record and partially to punish the Big 12 for so many bad nonconference schedules
