Podcast appearances and mentions of Adam Frazier

On The Wire Episode 265 — FAAB 24 (Sunday, August 30, 2026) Adam and Kevin work through a news-heavy show with just four FAAB periods left in the regular season, touching a wave of IL moves and call-ups across a dozen teams (Angels, Twins, Reds, Red Sox, Yankees, Cubs, Dodgers, Mariners, Giants, Marlins, Blue Jays, Cardinals). The back half leans on stretch-run power and speed streamers (Tristan Peters, Mickey Gasper, Connor Norby, Turner Hill) and pitching matchups exploiting lefty-mashing-averse lineups, before Kevin closes with advice to actually spend down remaining FAAB budgets before the season ends.

More callers give their Pirates proposals. Does Cherington have more sway than Don Kelly when it comes to how long a starting pitcher goes? Austin Hedges back to Pittsburgh?? Paul in Washington isn't a happy camper about Don Kelly. 

This is becoming the "protect your pitching investment" era of baseball. Callers chime in on who the Pirates should acquire. More callers give their Pirates proposals. Does Cherington have more sway than Don Kelly when it comes to how long a starting pitcher goes? Austin Hedges back to Pittsburgh?? Paul in Washington isn't a happy camper about Don Kelly

In Episode 559, Patrick, Jeffrey and Craig chat about red card rules and weird seltzers and then discuss five mostly baseball topics.   1. Willlllllllllllson: We should be paying more attention to Wilson Contreras's excellent season than all the other stuff, but Cade Cavalli decided to make it difficult. 2. Not so Peachy: Atlanta is slumping, is Tarik Skubal the answer?3.  Knives Out: Austin Hedges doesn't like Josh Naylor, and neither does Stone Garrett.4. Around the Horn: Junior Caminero is on a heater, Cooper Ingle has a flub, and David Stearns has some job security, we guess.5.

This week, the guys highlight Royals games being back. Salvy is hitting bombs, Cags is hitting 460' nukes, Bobby baseball is back. There really is nothing like it. We dive a bit on Jac Caglianone's approach at the plate, and how some adjustments have seemingly helped him so far. Isaac Collins is starting to get some playing time, and we see how important he really is to this roster. Josh Rojas is playing like a man possessed in spring, and we think he'll be the Adam Frazier of this 2026 ballclub. Then we end it with America's favorite segment: Drop the Ball!

New Pirate Jake Mangum joins North Shore Nine for a “Get To Know” chat after the trade that brought Brandon Lowe, Jake Mangum, & Mason Montgomery to Pittsburgh.

In his weekly Pirates mailbag podcast, Post-Gazette insider Noah Hiles answers reader questions. Among them: When will MLB award Pittsburgh another MLB All-Star game to possibly showcase stars like Oneil Cruz and Paul Skenes in their home stadium? What's the latest Noah's hearing on the trade front, with particular regard to Mitch Keller? Could the Chicago Cubs be looking to acquire Ke'Bryan Hayes? Did GM Ben Cherington get enough for trading Adam Frazier to the Kansas City Royals for Cam Devanney? Will MLB insist on a salary cap in its next CBA? And what's the future for Henry Davis and Jack Suwinski? Can they work out their struggles with the Pirates? Or do they need a change of scenery?

The All-Star break gave Pirates fans a lot to chew on — from Oneil Cruz's 513-foot bomb in the Home Run Derby to Paul Skenes dominating the first inning of the Midsummer Classic. Cruz tied for first in the opening round before falling in the semis, while Skenes went 1-2-3 with two strikeouts in a perfect debut on the national stage. We also break down the new Home Run Derby swing-off format and whether MLB should expand it beyond the All-Star Game. But the break wasn't just about spectacle — it also marked the beginning of trade season. The first domino has officially fallen, with Adam Frazier being dealt to the Royals in exchange for Triple-A shortstop Cam Devanney. Could this signal more moves to come? We also dive into the Pirates' 2025 MLB Draft haul, headlined by high-upside righty Seth Hernandez at No. 6 overall. We cover key Day 1 picks like Angel Cervantes and Murf Gray, plus some of our favorite Day 2 names. Does this class reflect a shift in draft strategy, and how do these players fit into the system? Finally, we preview the upcoming White Sox series as the Pirates return to action and gear up for what could be a pivotal few weeks before the trade deadline.

The Royals start the second half by trading for Adam Frazier. Why?David Lesky (Publisher - Inside the Crown/@DBLesky), Les Norman (Former Royals OF/Author - Teaching the Tools of Hitting) and Soren Petro (Sports Radio 810-WHB, 810whb.com/@SorenPetro) try to figure out why the Royals are bringing back Adam Frazier and more…- Why make this deal?- Cam Devaney will be what?- Who's traded next?- The trade we want to see is…- All Star Game reaction.- The Royals Draft.- Who is the fifth starter?- Expectations for the Second Half are...

Dorin Dickerson and Nicholas "Harry" Callas react to the Pirates' decision to trade Adam Frazier to the Kansas City Royals.

In this hour, Dorin Dickerson reacts to some comments made by Steelers' DL Cam Heyward, and he also reacts to the trade of Adam Frazier from the Pirates to the Kansas City Royals. July 17, 2025, 6:00 Hour

The State of the Pirates. A season that has mostly been a failure that is nearing its next checkpoint in the form of the trade deadline. What can the organization do to salvage this season? We've known that the team would have a limited amount of time with Paul Skenes and so far, they have wasted it. Their plan was to bring in guys they could easily flip at the deadline, almost like they knew they would be bad. Names like Adam Frazier and Tommy Pham were the biggest offseason acquisitions. It seems like Bob Nutting is afraid to fire Ben Cherington because they would be admitting this regime has been an utter failure. Why are they allowing Cherington to run the trade deadline? Is there a real chance he is gone before the season is over? Chris has divorced himself from the idea of the Pirates taking advantage of their time with Skenes.

In this week's baseball podcast, Tim Benz and Kevin Gorman recap the All-Star Break. They look ahead to the opening weekend series against the White Sox to start the second half.

Emergency Pod: Pirates Trade Adam Frazier to Royals for Cam Devanney The Pirates have started trade szn, sending veteran utility man Adam Frazier to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for AAA shortstop Cam Devanney. We break down what this means for the big league roster, why Ben Cherington made this move now, and what Devanney could bring to the organization.

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: Paul Skenes dominated in the All-Star Game. BREAKING - Pirates trade Adam Frazier to the Kansas City Royals for Cam Devanney. Donny's wedding is the talk of Pittsburgh. Joe is frustrated with Bryan Reynolds and Jason Stark picked him as a top 3 candidate for LVP. 

Paul Skenes dominated in the All-Star Game. Should Paul Skenes request a trade in the next year if the Pirates don't add bats? Austin called the situation embarrassing. The All-Star Game ended in a swing off instead of ending in a tie. BREAKING - Pirates trade Adam Frazier to the Kansas City Royals for Cam Devanney.

Joe and Limits react to Adam Frazier being moved to KC in exchange for a Triple-A infielder.

The Pirates have traded Adam Frazier to kickstart the trade deadline moves. They are sending Frazier back to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for Cam Devanney, who is 28 and has yet to make his MLB debut despite good power numbers in AAA this season. They got something for Frazier and that's probably better than what we could have expected. Has the outline for this team ever looked worse? We looked at some comparisons between this team and the 2010 Pirates, a squad that lost 105 games. Who are the other players that will be on the move? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Poni questioned Jeff for saying the Pirates should make Oneil Cruz the highest-paid player in their history. Jeff said it's all about Paul Skenes and the finite amount of time they have to win with him here. Jeff said he's willing to bet on the potential of Cruz and that's why he'd give him $22M/year. Jeff pleaded that at some point the Pirates need to take a chance. Would the Pirates go out in free agency and sign a player like Cruz while they still have Skenes? Judge Donny.

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Colin Beazley discusses five potential partners that could make sense for the Pirates at the 2025 trade deadline, as the Pirates are expected to sell at the deadline. The Pirates will be listening to calls on everyone other than Paul Skenes, so Mitch Keller, Ke'Bryan Hayes, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Andrew Heaney, Adam Frazier and more could be on the move. Beazley thinks trades with the Cubs, Phillies, Yankees, Blue Jays or Twins could make sense, including potentially inquiring about Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh or Yankees' youngsters Anthony Volpe or Jasson Dominguez, as the Pirates could potentially get players in return that will help the team moving forward.

Hour 2: What Pirates could be traded before the deadline? The guys talk Jaws and why NASA mysteriously stop exploring the oceans in 2014. And Dom thinks the NBA Finals sucked this year.

Donny turned the AC off in his place while he was away, and when he got back it was 86 degrees in his house. As we approach the MLB trade deadline, who on the Pirates could get dealt? Isiah Kiner-Falefa, David Bednar, Andrew Heaney, Adam Frazier, and Dennis Santana are names thrown out.

Joe disagreed with Don Kelly having Adam Frazier attempt to bunt. Frazier has been one of the Pirates' hottest hitters and both Henry Davis and Ke'Bryan Hayes couldn't deliver a tying or winning hit in the 9th. Which Pirates will be traded? Paul Skenes and Oneil Cruz aren't going anywhere. Should Mitch Keller be traded for a bat?

Dan didn't have a problem with Adam Frazier attempting to bunt with two on and no one out in the 9th. Dan thinks Mitch Keller, David Bednar, and Dennis Santana could be on the table at the trade deadline. Scouts from other organizations that Dan Zangrilli has talked to this week think Bubba Chandler is not quite ready for the majors and needs to cut down on walks.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: Dan didn't have a problem with Adam Frazier attempting to bunt with two on and no one out in the 9th. Dan thinks Mitch Keller, David Bednar, and Dennis Santana could be on the table at the trade deadline. Scouts from other organizations that Dan Zangrilli has talked to this week think Bubba Chandler is not quite ready for the majors and needs to cut down on walks. Steelers insider Mark Kaboly joined the show. Zach Azzanni is a huge Calvin Austin fan and called him the WR2.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Joe disagreed with Don Kelly having Adam Frazier attempt to bunt. Which Pirates will be traded? Penguins announce Dan Muse as their head coach. There are problems with the Bengals defense. Shemar Stewart is not with the Bengals and Trey Hendrickson is holding out for a contract. Steelers WR coach Zach Azzanni declared Calvin Austin as their WR2.

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. Greg spoke his mind about the bad call in San Diego the other night in the Henry Davis at bat, which was the Pirates last real shot to win the game. Brownie said it's a forgone conclusion that the technology will be changed by Opening Day 2026. Greg talked about the leadership in the clubhouse and why Andrew McCutchen speaking up the other night really meant something. Chris asked Greg about Cutch tying Roberto Clemente for third all-time on the Pirates HR list and what #22 means to the city. Greg thinks McCutchen is Hall of Fame worthy in terms of consideration and says he is continuing to build a strong case. What type of crowd is expected tonight with Paul Skenes on the mound? Baseball insider Jim Bowden listed 3 Pirates that are most likely to be traded – Andrew Heaney, Dennis Santana and Adam Frazier. Who else could be possibly on the move? We played a Pirates trade game. Donny Football Debrief – What Madden did you play first and which is the best version of the game?

NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Bros. The Pirates battled back from an early deficit and got a vintage performance from Adam Frazier, but bullpen struggles and a brutal baserunning mistake cost them in a 6-5 loss to Milwaukee. Jim and Tyler break it all down from PNC Park, including Bailey Falter's strong May, Oneil Cruz's 123 mph rocket, and the missed chance to win the series.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to the week in Pittsburgh sports news. Is Aaron Rodgers delaying his deal with the Steelers out of fear of losing his job like Kirk Cousins did to Michael Penix Jr. with the Atlanta Falcons last season? As Fox Sports insider Jason McIntyre has speculated? What should we make of Justin Fields' comments to reporters, in which he said he didn't feel "comfortable" with Mike Tomlin and the Steelers following his midseason benching in favor of Russell Wilson? How seriously should the GM Omar Khan be taking Shedeur Sanders as a draft option? Whether or not Rodgers signs? And was T.J. Watt being cryptic in an Instagram post in which he gave a peace sign? Or are fans and observers looking too far into it and what it means for his future with the Steelers? Our duo tackles those questions and more. In the second and third segments, airing on the Post-Gazette's new Pirates YouTube channel, the guys give their thoughts on a busy week for the Pirates on and off the field. How much criticism does team president Travis Williams deserve for the Bucco Bricks fiasco, the bungled tribute to Roberto Clemente, attendance issues and the state of PNC Park? Are the problems with the Pirates as a business eclipsing their shortcomings on the field? And how much is owner Bob Nutting paying attention to his club's issues amid relentless chants for him to "sell the team" that started at the home opener last weekend and have not subsided? Our duo tackles those questions, then analyzes on-field performance in the second segment. Should we worry about a small dip in Paul Skenes' velocity in his worst start as a Pirates on Tuesday in a loss to the Cardinals? Are Justin Lawrence, Denis Santana and Caleb Ferguson the answers manager Derek Shelton has been looking for in the bullpen following struggles from David Bendar and Colin Holderman in high-leverage roles? Should we be more encouraged or discouraged by Ke'Bryan Hayes' start to the season offensively? How much grace will veterans Tommy Pham and Adam Frazier get amid their struggles? And how important does Andrew McCutchen remain to this lineup? If you haven't already, subscribe to the sports department's YouTube channels so you don't miss a video with our reporters, columnists and their special guests.

It's not looking good for Jared Jones to be healthy to make the team and Carmen Mlodzinski will be in the rotation. Spencer Horwitz is getting closer, but likely won't be back until late April. Bob wants Matt Gorski to get a chance. Adam Frazier did not have a good spring, but they still see something in him to be a lock on the roster.

Jonathan Rice (@PhilPhan99) and Connor Williams (@Wins_Williams) bring you the latest Spring Training episode of Talk the Plank 3k on Fans First Sports Network (@FansFirstSN). In this episode, Connor and Jonathan talk about the possible Opening Day Roster, including bullpen options and whether Adam Frazier really needs to be included. After a nice long @Pirates discussion, we offer up our (not so) expert opinions on the upcoming NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament! Let's go Bucs!!! Learn more about your ad choices.

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Noah Hiles and Andrew Destin recap a 3-2 exhibition victory against the Philadelphia Phillies during spring training in Bradenton, Fla. Is Jared Jones Opening Day ready after flashing his slider in an efficient outing? How did Adam Frazier look in his return to action? And is Eddy Yean proving he belongs in the bullpen after registering a two-inning save? Our duo tackles those topics and more.

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Noah Hiles and Andrew Destin preview spring training for the club, which begins Wednesday in Bradenton, Fla. Will Paul Skenes maintain momentum into his sophomore season after winning rookie of the year honors in 2024? Will Ben Cherington make any more moves to add to a meager free agent class that included Andrew McCutchen, Adam Frazier and Tommy Pham? Will Ke'Bryan Hayes find a way to bounce back at the plate? Where will we see Bryan Reynolds this year defensively? How much will trade acquisition Spencer Horwitz help the offense? Is Oneil Cruz ready to take a step toward MLB stardom? When will we see prospects including Bubba Chandler and Termarr Johnson? And how good can the rotation behind Skenes be with Mitch Keller, Jared Jones and others? Our duo tackles those questions with guests including PG sports columnist Jason Mackey.

Host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey react to Kenny Pickett's comments about his time with the Steelers at the Super Bowl. Did GM Omar Khan, coach Mike Tomlin make a mistake in moving on from their former first-round pick at QB after just two years? Now that he'll be one snap away from playing in the biggest game of the season for the Eagles against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs? Or were Russell Wilson and Justin Fields both clear enough upgrades that the move still makes sense in hindsight, even despite the late-season swoon and NFL playoffs loss to the Baltimore Ravens? Was Pickett throwing subtle shade at the Steelers locker room for being too prone to distractions? And what chances do Saquon Barkley and the Eagles have in the big game if Pickett has to replace Jalen Hurts at any point? Our duo tackles those questions, then switches focus to the Penguins, Pitt basketball and the Pirates. Did GM Kyle Dubas get enough back in the trade this week that sent Marcus Pettersson and Drew O'Connor to the Vancouver Canucks? Could Rickard Rakell be the next player moved? Is there any hope of unloading the contracts of Erik Karlsson, Ryan Graves and Tristan Jarry with an eye toward rebuilding? And what does it all mean for the core of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kirs Letang? What will the Panters' latest swoon mean for their March Madness chances? And on the Pirates front, did the signing of Tommy Pham salvage the Pirates' MLB offseason, in which Adam Frazier, Andrew McCutchen and Spencer Horwitz were the only other noteworthy adds? Or is this still a disastrous effort from GM Ben Cherington in building around his core of Paul Skenes, Jared Jones, Bryan Reynolds and others? Is there any hope of another significant move between now and the start of the regular season? And what should we think about the fan survey the team commissioned, which has been widely panned on social media? If you haven't already, subscribe to the sports department's YouTube channel so you don't miss a video with our reporters, columnists and their special guests.

Craig and Scott (@PirateTakes) spend a lot of time breaking down the Adam Frazier signing and what it means as far as roster construction, while touching on the additions to the bullpen, Oviedo's arbitration settlement, the Pirates Fan Survey and the new top 100 prospect lists.  Craig Toth previously covered the Pirates for Inside The Bucs Basement, but now simply sits down at the 9-foot homemade oak bar every week to talk Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball with his buddy Scott Jackson (@PirateTakes).

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to tackle the hot topics in Pittsburgh sports, starting with the Steelers' struggles at the wide receiver position in 2024. Was owner Art Rooney II just being realistic about the team's lack of talent in the passing game when stating his preference to build around the running game earlier this week? Who or what is most responsible for the current mess in the WR room. Is it former GM Kevin Colbert and current GM Omar Khan for failing to cultivate depth? Is it Mike Tomlin's personality management of players like George Pickens, Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool? Was it moving on from JuJu Smith-Schuster, who's now an important piece for Patrick Mahomes and the Super Bowl-bound Kansas City Chiefs? And where do depth options like Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson fit into the conversation? Our duo tackles those questions, then reacts to headlines on the college front. How crucial was Pitt basketball's victory against the North Carolina Tar Heels this week? Is Jeff Capel starting to figure out how to better use his forwards around star guards like Jaland Lowe and Ishmael Leggett? And on the Penn State front, what does the Jim Knowles hiring say about James Franklin's intent to compete at a championship level? And does early 2025 College Football Playoff hype make sense for this team with the return of key pieces like Drew Allar, Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen? The later, the guys react to the Pirates' sluggishness in MLB free agency. What is the primary reason GM Ben Cherington has made only small moves like signing Andrew McCutchen and Adam Frazier or trading for Spencer Horwitz so far? Is TV revenue an issue? Is saving for a Paul Skenes extension a possibility? And how much trouble are Cherington and manager Derek Shelton in? Should we interpret the inactivity as a signal that they feel comfortable?
