Podcast appearances and mentions of andrew mccutchen

Which player is worthier of the HOF – Dave Parker or Andrew McCutchen? Parker is already in, but Chris thinks neither guy should be in there. He labeled both as ‘Hall of Very Good' players. Chris said Juan Soto is already in if Parker is in.

Oneil Cruz was a disappointing player in 2025, but was it one of false hope? Early on, it looked like Cruz had figured things out, showing off a .902 OPS across March and April. May was OK, but things really tailed off as we got into the summer months. He only hit 8 home runs in the final 4 months of the season. Is he the forgotten man in the Pirates lineup? The front office went out and signed 69 home runs worth of power this offseason and the organization touts the #1 prospect in all of baseball, Konnor Griffin. Does that ease the pressure for Cruz? Everything also orbits around Paul Skenes, the reigning NL Cy Young. The existence of the new bats, Griffin and Skenes takes some off Cruz's shoulders. What will the Pirates lineup look like? Is it getting late early for Cruz or is he entering his hypothetical prime? Cruz was flailing and failing in the back half of 2025, so it feels like things can only go up. Chris is afraid to say Cruz will finally blossom, but he can be the biggest pivot point for the 2026 Pirates. Do fans have different expectations for Oneil Cruz in 2026? Which player is worthier of the HOF – Dave Parker or Andrew McCutchen? Parker is already in, but Chris thinks neither guy should be in there. He labeled both as ‘Hall of Very Good' players. Chris said Juan Soto is already in if Parker is in.

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the concept of the Cardinals reaching out to longtime rival player Andrew McCutchen to fill the need for some right-handed hitting outfield help.With the Pirates shunning Cutch and the longtime star believing he's got gas left in the tank, there's a case to be made that he fits what St. Louis needs on its roster--and that his 2025 stats show how he could contribute this summer for the Redbirds.

Pitchers and catchers are officially back, and Pirates baseball is underway in Bradenton, Florida. On tonight's episode of NS9LIVE!, we're joined by José Negron of DK Pittsburgh Sports, who's on the ground for Day 1 of spring training. José gives us firsthand insight into the atmosphere at camp, early storylines, and what stood out as players reported.

Austin would offer a deal of eight-years, $140 million with a club option. Pitt basketball hosts Duke tonight at 9pm.

Are you impressed with the Pirates offseason? If you would have told Joe they would have traded for Lowe, signed Ozuna and O'Hearn that he would have doubted it, but likes the offseason. Joe and Bob give the Pirates a B+.

Are you impressed with the Pirates offseason? We hear from Pirates fans on how they view this offseason with the Pirates adding three bats. The Pirates lineup is significantly improved.

Signing Marcell Ozuna likely marks the end of the Andrew McCutchen era. McCutchen is probably the most beloved Pirate since Willie Stargell. The Pirates appear ready to move on. This definitely could have been handled better but the Pirates have added bats who are better than McCutchen at this point in his baseball career.

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: This is a sad way for the Andrew McCutchen era to end. It was a good three years with him. McCutchen changed his profile picture from him in a Pirates jersey to a picture of a player swinging a bat. The Patriots have been to 20% of the Super Bowls. The Olympics are here and we watched some curling. We are excited for Olympic hockey!

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: How concerned are you that Marcell Ozuna's struggles last season could continue? Should Konnor Griffin be on the big league team to start? Griffin, Lowe, O'Hearn, Reynolds, Ozuna, and others would be a legitimate Pirates lineup. Signing Marcell Ozuna likely marks the end of the Andrew McCutchen era. This definitely could have been handled differently.

Callers weigh in on the Andrew McCutchen situation More callers on the Andrew McCutchen situation. Donny Football Debrief – Reviews of Super Bowl LX. What do the odds look like for next season?

The Pirates have made another move. The news broke this morning that they are singing Marcell Ozuna to a 1-year deal worth $12M. Ozuna will step in and be the team's DH, likely ending the Andrew McCutchen era in Pittsburgh. Do his off-the-field issues scare you at all about this move? What about his injury riddled 2025 campaign? Poni said there is reason to be excited about this – he's a player that can hit a lot of home runs and extend their lineup like we have not seen in a few years (if not more). Chris has his hold ups for both on and off the field reasons.

Former MLB pitcher Matt Clement joined the show. Matt reacted to the Marcell Ozuna signing in Pittsburgh. He said this is the exact thing the Pirates were looking for and this could be a pretty good pairing. Matt isn't sure if Ozuna gets back to being a legit MVP candidate, but the change of scenery should help him be better than last season. Matt pointed out that expectations in Pittsburgh are lower than they are in Atlanta. Matt said if things go south, they will easily be able to unload Ozuna around the deadline. Matt would still like to see a starting pitcher added to the rotation even though it appears as if Mitch Keller will be back.

The Pirates made another move this morning, signing Marcell Ozuna to a one-year deal. Is the potentially awful defensive outfield an issue? Most of our listeners say that they are bought back in with the Pirates after this move. Would you have rather the Pirates sign just Kyle Schwarber, or everyone else that they have signed or traded for this offseason? Are people skewing their opinions of the Pirates signings because they are desperate for them to be good? Mullsy says Ozuna is objectively an upgrade over Andrew McCutchen. Chris Dimino from 680 The Fan in Atlanta joined the show. Chris says that it feels like longer than two years ago that Marcell Ozuna had his elite season in 2024. He says that he will absolutely show flashes and put up numbers at points in a season. Chris also mentions that Ozuna may have an issue with his weight, especially if he is not healthy.

Does the Marcell Ozuna signing make the Pirates a legit threat in the NL Central? Are they better than the Brewers, Cubs and/or Reds? Poni thinks they are a team that should win games in the mid-80s, which could mean a postseason berth. Where does Ozuna fit into this lineup? And what does that lineup look like? Are the Pirates a playoff team? Do callers think the Pirates can make the playoffs? PG columnist Noah Hiles joined the show. Noah formerly covered the Pirates for the PG and still takes part in a baseball podcast. Noah isn't sure how all of these pieces fit in the Pirates lineup after signing Marcell Ozuna to a 1-year deal earlier today. Noah said Ozuna is unquestionably a better player than Andrew McCutchen. He said the offense is better, but pitching still has to lead the way with a defense that isn't good. Noah thinks keeping Jared Triolo in the lineup is important for what he provides on defense alone. Noah wants the Pirates to add a utilityman and another pitcher because it's still a group of mostly unproven guys. Noah doesn't know if the Pirates are ‘much better' than a 75-win team. Noah suggested Mark Vientos being the final acquisition, but he would add to the crew of bad defensive players.

After the Brendan Donovan trade do the Cardinals still have one more move up their sleeve this offseason? We break down the rumors of the Cardinals adding a right-handed outfield bat this offseason. Who could it be? Will the Cardinals add Andrew McCutchen or Randal Grichuk as they look to bolster their bench and find a veteran leader presence?

Dan Zangrilli throws some cold water on the idea that Framber Valdez will sign with the Pirates. Dan checked in with some people and learned that "it doesn't seem like there's a ton of fire around this smoke." Dan said he would be shocked if the Pirates do sign Valdez. Dan said the smoke is real surrounding the Pirates and Marcell Ozuna. Dan gives it a 38.5% chance that Andrew McCutchen is back.

Another Patriot villain was left out of the Hall of Fame – Robert Kraft. He's actually been on the ballot for quite some time. The Steelers just hired a guy with a Patriots cheating connection – Steve Scarnecchia, whose dad was on the Patriots staff through the 2000s. Steve's nickname was ‘spygate.' Steve is being hired as the ‘chief of staff.' Are the Patriots still hated like they were with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick? Chris argued that the Patriots were never really a rival to the Steelers because it was mostly a one-sided affair. Yes, fans still hate the Patriots. Former MLB pitcher Matt Clement joined the show. Matt's take to the Pirates not getting Eugenio Suarez is that the team will be pushed to bring up Konnor Griffin faster. He thinks the familiarity Suarez has in Cincy is likely why he chose them over the Pirates. Matt likes the effort from the Pirates in the offseason, but said they still have to make it more desirable to outside free agents. Matt believes Mitch Keller is definitely off the board right now. Will the Pirates have a backup plan and could that be Marcell Ozuna? The Andrew McCutchen reunion might be over. Does Matt think Limits would hit a major league pitch?

Sports Court w/ our friends from Edgar Snyder & Associates. The discussion was around Andrew McCutchen and what the Pirates should do with him in 2026. The guys made their Super Bowl picks and we found out there was a local tie to Rob's selection.

Mason Rudolph shared a very classy sendoff to Mike Tomlin on social media yesterday. Kudos to Rudolph, who was often left on the shelf by Tomlin until Mike, and the team, needed him most (2023). Is Tomlin a Hall of Fame coach? Is he a better coach than Bill Cowher? He's the winningest black coach in league history and a gem to the national media, which will likely put him in a gold jacket. Were the Steelers playoff failures more on Mike Tomlin or Ben Roethlisberger? How will fans remember Tomlin? Sports Court w/ our friends from Edgar Snyder & Associates. The discussion was around Andrew McCutchen and what the Pirates should do with him in 2026. The guys made their Super Bowl picks and we found out there was a local tie to Rob's selection.

The Pirates watched a major offensive upgrade walk right into the division — as Eugenio Suárez signs a one-year deal to go back with the Cincinnati Reds. With rumors once pointing to a long-term contract, how did Pittsburgh miss out on a potential bargain — and what does it mean for keeping pace in the NL Central? We also dive into Oneil Cruz working out with Kevin Kiermaier to improve in center field. What kind of leap does Cruz need to make in 2026 for this team to finally break its playoff drought? Plus, with reports of Andrew McCutchen meeting with Bob Nutting, is a reunion close? And with the Boston Red Sox still shopping for a third baseman, how aggressive should the Pittsburgh Pirates be?

The Reds landed the best bet still available in Eugenio Suarez. Kevin thinks Suarez going back to Cincinnati to play in a smaller ballpark was a factor and said multiple Pirates right-handed hitters have complained about how far back the fences are in left field. Bob Nutting met with Andrew McCutchen recently. Kevin thinks Alec Bohm is intriguing.
