David Bednar was stretched as far as he's gone in over 3 years, and had he failed, it could have cost Aaron Boone his job. Boone trusted his gut, and Bednar and it worked out.
Hour 2: David Bednar was stretched as far as he's gone in over 3 years, and had he failed, it could have cost Aaron Boone his job. Boone trusted his gut, and Bednar and it worked out. Evan disagreed with Mike Francesca. What should the new Yankees relievers use as their entrance songs at Yankee Stadium?
Hour 1: Evan is mad the Mets fans cheered for Gavin Williams after his near no-hitter at Citi Field. Evan one time bowled a 211 and no one was there to see it. Juan Soto has hit almost exclusively solo home runs this year, earning himself the nickname Juan "Solo". Hour 2: David Bednar was stretched as far as he's gone in over 3 years, and had he failed, it could have cost Aaron Boone his job. Boone trusted his gut, and Bednar and it worked out. Evan disagreed with Mike Francesca. What should the new Yankees relievers use as their entrance songs at Yankee Stadium? Hour 3: Aaron Glenn says the Jets are playing their starters in Week 1 of the preseason, the guys like it. Shaun says he will be level headed about the Giants this year (doubtful). Evan is mad that Kyle Wilson was invited to Jets camp. The Mets need a wake up from this haze. Hour 4: Cinco de Five-Oh - Shaun's top 5 things he wants to see in Jets preseason. Evan thinks Shaun was trolling the whole time. Can Evan and Tiki complete the 9-9-9 challenge? Shaun is sick of the lazy "run-differential" narrative as it relates to the Yankees. Shaun would be mad if Daniel Jones succeeds in Indianapolis. Sal Licata is up for an Emmy. And did Mike Francesca take a shot at Shaun Morash?
Ke'Bryan Hayes is gone. David Bednar is gone. And according to reports, the Pirates' payroll might not increase in 2026. So… what exactly is the plan here? We're joined by Alex Stumpf of MLB.com to break down the Hayes trade, what went wrong in Pittsburgh, and how a years-old report about Jon Nunnally might explain more than people realize. Then we dive into the Bednar deal, Dennis Santana stepping in as closer, and Ethan Hullihen's breakdown of the team's projected $90M payroll for 2026. Is this another rebuild? Or just more stalling? Finally, we ask the only question that might still matter: is it time to just let the kids play? Watch, subscribe, and join the conversation live!

In today's episode of the Yankees Nation Podcast, Ryan covered:- Yankees lose five in a row- Trades for Bednar, Bird and Doval- Trade for Caballero, impact on Volpe- Reasons to remain hopeful
**Anzeige** Kriege, Klimawandel, politische Unsicherheiten – die Weltlage beeinflusst längst nicht mehr nur die Schlagzeilen, sondern auch direkt unser Sicherheitsgefühl. Und sie wirft eine zentrale Frage auf: Was mache ich eigentlich mit meinem Geld? – Antworten darauf liefert Heinz Bednar, CEO der Erste Asset Management, im „Presse“-Podcast.
Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. Greg says that he was not shocked by any of the moves the Pirates made at the trade deadline. He also says that “there's something in there” with Jack Suwinski. Greg says that the leadership aspect of players is overrated, and he'd rather get young guys more at-bats. He says that moving Falter allowed for Oviedo to come up. Brown calls the Bednar and Hayes trades “gigantic” moves. He also says that he'd be surprised if Skenes wasn't open to re-signing here. Greg says he 100% still believes that Bob Nutting cares about winning.
Will Howard was presumably injured in practice today. Aaron Rodgers threw a pick that was a perfect pass that hit Connor Heyward in the facemask. Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show.

Who will be their starter for Week 7 against the Steelers? Poni thinks it will be Gabriel, and Mullsy thinks it will be Pickett. Donny thinks it will be Shedeur. Poni says if Pickett starts and beats the Steelers, it will be Mike Tomlin's worst loss ever.
Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson react to CP David Bednar mentioning how he found out he had been traded from the Pirates to the New York Yankees.

MLB writer Travis Sawchik from Driveline Baseball joined the show. Rafael Flores is ranked below Nick Yorke in the Pirates top 30 prospects. Sawchik says the Pirates went against the league consensus with the return in the Bednar trade. He also says that Fangraphs projects that Flores would have an 86 WRC+ if he came up today, which is a problem because he might not be a catcher. Travis says he can't believe Bailey Falter would be a non-tender candidate.
Ben Cherington believes that he put the Pirates in a stronger position going into next year. Yahoo Sports gave the Pirates an F+ for the trade deadline. Mullsy dropped the Pirates deadline grade to an F. Poni thinks the Ke'Bryan Hayes trade was the Pirates only good decision. He gives it a B+. Tommy Pham has been one of the best hitters in baseball the last couple of months, and the Pirates somehow didn't trade him. An insider says he is done with the Pirates because they care more about finances than winning. MLB writer Travis Sawchik from Driveline Baseball joined the show.

Travis says he can't believe Bailey Falter would be a non-tender candidate. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Florio says the Micah Parsons situation was just the Cowboys doing Cowboys things and it blew up in their faces. He also says that if he were to get traded it would take two first rounders and a $45 million deal. Mike says that Parsons lost all of his leverage because he actually showed up. Mike thinks that Buffalo makes the most sense to send a deal for Parsons. He thinks that the Terry Mclaurin trade request is just an effort to get the Commanders to pay him. Florio says that people should be skeptical of anything ESPN reports about the NFL as a whole.
Hour 2: After the Yankees trade for Bednar, is going after a starting pitcher the next goal? Jaxson Dart joins the show live from Giants Training Camp. Initial reaction to the Cedric Mullins and Jake Bird trades.
What do we want the Red Sox to do at the deadline? Starting pitching is what the Sox need the most. There has not been too many starters moved. Reliable Jared Carrabis says he is back in Joe Ryan to the Red Sox. Jay in Rhode Island tells Andy Hart to take a chill pill. Listen for Fitzy's interview with Morgan Moses. Yankees bullpen gets better with the addition of Bednar. Everyone in AL playoff picture is getting better except Sox. Patriots vibes have not been this high since the mural sunk them.

Termarr Johnson isn't hitting well enough in the minors, but is only 21. John Perrotto doesn't think Mitch Keller will be traded. John said there's a 75% chance David Bednar is traded. Bob Nutting has stepped in to prevent a Bednar trade in the past. Greg Brown a month ago thought Ben Cherington would make a big move, but now it's time.
Noah thinks the Pirates will trade David Bednar today and acquire a top 100 prospect. He thinks the Pirates are better off trading Bednar for prospects and a team won't part with a big hitter in the big leagues. There is a 10% chance Mitch Keller is traded and probably a better market in the offseason.
Pitt and Penn State will play basketball in Hersey this December. The Yankees are interested in David Bednar. Mark Feinsand said Bednar is their No. 1 choice.
Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Noah thinks the Pirates will trade David Bednar today and acquire a top 100 prospect. He thinks the Pirates are better off trading Bednar for prospects and a team won't part with a big hitter in the big leagues. There is a 10% chance Mitch Keller is traded and probably a better market in the offseason. Pitt basketball and Penn State will play in Hershey this December. The Yankees are interested in David Bednar.
Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Pirates reporter John Perrotto of Pittsburgh Baseball Now joined the show and said Ke'Bryan Hayes needed a change of scenery. John thinks the Rangers think Bednar could be "the last piece" for them to get into the playoffs. He doesn't think Mitch Keller will be traded before 6pm, but things can change. John said there's a 75% chance David Bednar is traded. Bob Nutting has stepped in to prevent a Bednar trade before. Greg Brown thinks Ben Cherington would make a big move, but now it's time.
Pirates saved roughly $20 million with the Bednar and Hayes trades. Jeff Passan loves the Bednar trade for the Pirates. Donny Football said on Twitter that it's incredible how bad Ben Cherington is at his job. Mullsy thinks the deal was below average for Ben Cherington. Poni says that one of the pros of the trade is that Flores has been productive in the minors. The Bednar trade does not measure up when compared to other deals. A caller calls for Ben Cherington to be fired now. An insider on Twitter said that the Bednar return was light in terms of the reliever market. We still don't have a Tommy Pham or IKF trade with 100 minutes until the trade deadline. A caller says that the Pirates won't reinvest the money they freed up. Poni and Mullsy both tweeted out polls asking if fans liked the Bednar trade, and both polls resulted in about 85% no. A caller is happy that Bednar got traded because he wants him to go win a World Series. Poni mentions that the Pirates never have a hard time finding a good closer. However, that was usually the case when Huntington was the GM. The Pirates traded Joe Musgrove to the Padres for a guy that recently retired from baseball, among two others that were not good. They also got Endy Rodriguez from the Mets in that deal. A caller says he likes Rafael Flores more because he plays first base as well as catcher. Another caller says that the Bednar trade made him buy Phillies hats for him and his wife and become a Phillies fan. Philip Rivers became a grandfather today.
Hour 4: Jeff Passan seems to love the David Bednar trade, but Poni wonders why. Poni gives a restaurant hack to the guys. And Bailey Falter gets traded to the Royals.
The trade deadline is four hours away and scuttlebutt is abound. Jon Morosi can speak 6 different languages. Mason Miller got traded for a king's ransom, so is it a given that David Bednar will get traded before the show's over? Chris says Ben Cherington is an “ignoramous”. Poni wants to open up the phones, but the only guy on the line is someone labeled “DO NOT ANSWER, GUY KEEPS CALLING”. A caller badly messes up IKF's name. Chris praises Intern Jack, but takes a shot at me. How much faith should we have in Cherington at this deadline? Chris doesn't know if Bednar will ever be as good as he is now. A caller says he would rather give up Bubba Chandler over Bednar. What? Poni has heard a rumor that the Rangers are interested in Andrew McCutchen, but Pittsburgh has said no go. Jason Mackey joins the show to talk about a potential Cutch trade, what he expects to happen with Bednar, who's making the calls behind-the-scenes on trades, and reaction to

David Bednar was traded to the Yankees with the headline of the return being Rafael Flores, the Yankees 8th ranked prospect. The A's traded Mason Miller to the Padres for the 3rd ranked prospect in all of baseball. The guys don't like this trade. The guys are definitely unhappy with the Bednar trade. Mullsy gives the trade a D. The Yankees don't have a good farm system and the Pirates only fetched their 8th ranked prospect in return. Jeff Passan loves the trade for the Pirates. Poni calls Flores a diamond in the rough. Ben Cherington said that he'd make the 2026 Pirates better, but he has actively made the 2026 Pirates worse. The guys look back at the JT Brubaker trade from a while ago, saying that it actually looks like a good one. Adam Marco joins the show. Adam thinks that Flores can turn into a good hitter in the majors. He also says that he has a projectable build and has a great personality that resonates with fans pretty well. Marco says that Flores can make good contact and that he shouldn't strike out too much.

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Noah Hiles and Colin Beazley discuss the latest news and trade rumors on Mitch Keller and David Bednar ahead of Thursday's trade deadline. Noah shares what he's hearing on Bednar, including what the Phillies, Tigers, Rangers and others could offer. He then shares the latest updates on Mitch Keller, who may not be moved before Thursday's 6 p.m. deadline after all. Noah concludes with the latest rumors, including a surprising name that had not previously been seen as someone the Pirates could move: Joey Bart.
The Pirates finish off a sweep of the Giants with a gritty extra-inning win, led by Isaac Mattson's dominant two-inning save and a strong start from Mike Burrows. Neil and Doug break down the clutch pitching, missed opportunities on offense, and what Bednar's absence could mean heading into the trade deadline. Plus, thoughts on the Caleb Ferguson trade and more frustration with Jack Suwinski. Don't forget to subscribe for more postgame breakdowns and Pirates coverage all season long!

The Pirates are winning, and that feels like a problem. Joe reacts to a clip from Rosenthal about trading Keller and Bednar. Could Cherington possibly keep the main trade chips around in an attempt to finish strong. Why was Cherington kept when Shelton was fired? Could Ben Cherington be the worst GM in Pittsburgh sports history? The market for relievers is hot. Is Adolis Garcia a potential option for the Bucs? We run down the list of other hitters who have been rumored, both in the majors and in the minors. How do the Pirates have no good catchers anymore?

Mark Kaboly joins to preview the padded practice today, Darnell Washington in backs on backers, if Roman Wilson is in the equation, the crowded tight end room, Mark details his relationship with Aaron Rodgers, McAfee at camp today. Crowley woke up John Wehner way too early. Could KeBryan Hayes be on the move? Joe is worried about mosquitos and aliens. Will Cherington take a big risk or a low risk, could the Pirates have acquired Josh Naylor instead of Spencer Horwitz, what he actually thinks the Pirates will do. Will Hayes be on the move, what's the timeline for Konnor Griffin, who are the top prospects the Pirates could target, reacting to Skenes comments about the team needing to make moves. A look around the NFL: Isaiah Likely, Trey Hendrickson reports, Deion Sanders had a health scare and we speculate his coaching future. Aaron Rodgers talked to the media today, and we listen to his comments - he's very high on Zach Frazier. Joe claps back at the PM Team for their Favre over Ben argument. He provides a lot of evidence.
Isaiah Likely was carted off the field at practice today, John Harbaugh called it a multi-week injury. Greg Newsome was also carted off the field, and his injury is assumed to be bad. The guys disagree with the Ravens being the Super Bowl favorites, according to Fanduel. They think that the Ravens will run into a wall against Kansas City or Buffalo. Pirates Broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. Greg says that he still thinks that Ben Cherington will make a big trade before the deadline. Brown says it's possible that David Bednar has pitched his last game as a Pirate, but it's also possible that he will remain a Pirate. He also says that Bednar took PNC Park all in after his 100th save. Brownie says that he's confident that Cruz and Skenes will remain Pirates at the deadline. He also says the Pirates should take advantage of desperate teams at the deadline, and that the Pirates need a left fielder. What's the Pirates best deadline move? Poni and Mullsy name JA Happ, Zane Smith as potential answers. Mullsy says that JA Happ should have pitched the Wild Card game against Jake Arrieta. Tony Watson for Oneil Cruz was a great trade, but not good enough to be the best ever. A commenter says that Austin Hedges for bonus pool money should be in contention. Poni says that the Red Sox do not like Mitch Keller. Donny Football Debrief – Poni skipped a field trip to a Yankees game in Little League, and missed a perfect game. Is Ben Roethlisberger a better quarterback all time than Brett Favre? The guys do not think so. Donny thinks Ben is around 12th best all time, while Favre is around the 8th. Poni mentions that Brees gets dinged for playing in a dome, but Favre doesn't get any credit for playing in bad weather. Mullsy says that Favre's last season was statistically better than any season Ben had. Poni says that he is going to bet on the Hall of Fame Game.

Asking Price for Bednar is high, Keller could be staying with Bucs through the season.
What is the biggest reason we don't want the Pirates to trade Mitch Keller? Is it because we like the player so much or because we don't trust the guy making the moves? It feels more like the latter for us, but the former for fans. Chris pondered how much more valuable Keller is than a guy like David Bednar? The return could Mitch Keller could be historic, but not for the reason you may be thinking. Will the Pirates be making another move with the Blue Jays because their front office has a relationship with Ben Cherington? Pirates insider Noah Hiles from the PG joined the show. Noah is starting to believe Mitch Keller will be here after the trade deadline on Thursday. He thinks they would have to be ‘blown away' by an offer in the next 48 hours. Noah said the Pirates could look more to the offseason as a time Keller is moved when another team is willing to part with multiple Top 100 prospects. The guys asked Noah about the report out there that the Cubs would be willing to part with their top prospect in order to get Keller. Noah said the asking price for David Bednar is a team's Top 5 prospect, but it obviously depends on what team that comes from. Why did Bednar have the emotion showing Saturday night after a save at PNC Park? Is there a chance of a random trade, like the Quinn Priester one from last year? Noah could see a trade between the Pirates and Orioles even though both teams are sellers. Noah told the guys that there were trades for Bednar that got blocked by the front office a couple of years back.
Bucs take game one in SF. Andrew McCutchen his the game deciding HR and it was a milestone, as well. Keller has a bad start and Bednar a nervous 9th.

The Pirates just allowed one run in 30 innings… and somehow we're still not sure if they're buyers or sellers. On today's Bucco Brew, we break down a dominant series win over the Diamondbacks, including Paul Skenes' latest masterpiece and Andrew Heaney's potential farewell start. Then we dive into Ben Cherington's Sunday press conference and try to decipher what “building toward 2026” really means. Are the Pirates about to deal Bednar? Keller? Or do nothing at all? Plus — Anthony Murphy joins the show to talk prospect updates, including Bubba Chandler's hot streak, Cristian Florentino's breakout, and where things stand with Termarr Johnson and Esmerlyn Valdez. We wrap with a preview of the upcoming Giants series and what this week could mean for the entire future of the Pirates' 2025 season.

Noah Hiles joins us from San Fran to give the latest on Mitch Keller's trade outlook, Bednar's return could be on the rise, which established MLB players could be trade targets. Percentage chance of trading: Hayes, Cruz, Reynolds, and more. Why has Reynolds struggled so much? A discussion about San Francisco and the other Joe Starkey. Joe shares his favorite Steelers memories of Cordarrelle Patterson and gets sad thinking about it. What will be the tenor of this year's camp? Could Kaleb Johnson be a better fit and overall player than Najee Harris.
Joe recaps his adventurous weekend. We react to the incredible poem written by Dave Parker that his son recited yesterday at the HOF. Will there be another Pirate in the HOF? The Pirates have squandered another great Skenes season. Fans shouldn't be hesitant to trade Keller for a bat. Steven Kwan and Jarren Duran are possible targets. The Cubs could also move a top prospect for Keller. Now is the time to take some risks. Joe didn't have cell service for almost a full week. We agree that cell phones have ruined the world. Skenes ERA is unparalleled in the past century. A caller points out that the Pirates gave Parker a million dollars. A caller blames the hitting coach. An update on Bubba Chandler. A caller is ornery about trading Mitch Keller. There's always going to be uncertainty trading for a hitter who hasn't been proven in the MLB. Deshon Elliott says the Steelers defense could possibly be the best in the league this year. Where's the proof of this? The numbers are mediocre. Haven't we learned our lesson from previous seasons? Is there delusion with the D? Will it be built for the long haul? Cordarrelle Patterson says he's released. Aaron Rodgers had a mature response to Terry Bradshaw's comments. Joe is still open to the idea that it could work, at least there's a chance. Mike DeFabo joins to react to the release of Cordarrelle Patterson and share a funny story about him, the injuries along the offensive line, Mike's reaction to the Aaron Rodgers experience, his usage under center, the players who have most impressed and most disappointed, an under the radar player opening eyes, what he's seen from the top rookies, Will Howard is the fan favorite and the crowd reaction to Rodgers. Sean's look around the NFL: Kenny Pickett's injury, Shemar Stewart finally signed with the Bengals, Christian Wilkins released, Travis Hunter could be Ohtani.
