On this week's episode, we begin by discussing this week's big free agent deals, including Merrill Kelly, Ha-Seong Kim, and Michael King re-upping with the Diamondbacks, Braves, and Padres, and Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami shockingly ending up with the White Sox. From there, we give our thoughts Wilson Contreras being moved to the Red Sox, recap the three-team trade between the Astros, Rays, and Pirates that saw Brandon Lowe and Michael Burrows on the move, and analyze Shane Baz being moved to the Orioles. To wrap up, we go through a trio of Phillies moves, the Giants adding Adrian Houser, and Team UA loading up their rotation.
Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Colin Beazley and Jason Mackey ponder what's next for the club this MLB offseason following the acquisition of Brandon Lowe in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays last week. This show is presented by FanDuel. What are Jason's thoughts on the deal itself, and where GM Ben Cherington and manager Don Kelly should deploy Lowe defensively? What are the implications for incumbent infielders Nick Gonzales, Jared Triolo and others? And who should Cherington set his sights on next in the trade market and MLB free agency? Is Eugenio Suarez the obvious fit at third base? Is Cody Bellinger a realistic option? What about Japanese star Kazuma Okamoto our OF Harrison Bader as offensive support for pitching stars Bubba Chandler and Paul Skenes? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Noah Hiles and Colin Beazley react to news that the Pirates have signed outfielder Ryan O'Hearn to a two-year contract worth nearly $30 million. How much better does O'Hearn make a lineup that struggled in 2025 for manager Don Kelly and GM Ben Cherington? Coupled with the trades for Brandon Lowe and Jhostynxon García, do the Pirates have the power they need to compete in MLB's National League Central alongside incumbent sluggers like Oneil Cruz and Bryan Reynolds? And to what degree does this deal signal intent from owner Bob Nutting to spend on supporting the team around Cy Young winner Paul Skenes? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick on the Buccaneers 23-20 loss at Carolina that puts them in 2nd place with 2 games to go, but they do control their own destiny. Baker Mayfield threw a pick that sealed the loss, the offensive line didn't play well as the Bucs ran the ball a lot to play around the defense. Plus the Rays trade Brandon Lowe, Shane Baz and others for prospects and the Lightning overcome a 3-goal deficit to beat the Hurricanes 6-4. Hosted on Acast.

Ben Cherington just made the biggest trade of his Pirates tenure — and it might finally change the direction of this franchise. On this episode of Bucco Brew, we break down the blockbuster deal that sent Mike Burrows out of Pittsburgh and brought back Brandon Lowe, Jake Mangum, and Mason Montgomery. We dive into why this move matters, how Lowe immediately upgrades the offense, what Mangum adds to the lineup mix, and why Montgomery gives the Pirates another intriguing arm. Is this the most impactful trade Cherington has ever made? Does this deal signal that the Pirates are finally shifting from asset accumulation to contention? And what does this move mean for the rest of the offseason and the 2026 roster? We're digging into the numbers, the roster fit, and the bigger picture for a team that suddenly looks a lot closer to competing.

The offseason continues to take shape, and Episode 125 of Tablesetters brings together a week where the market didn't explode — but it definitely shifted. We open with Munetaka Murakami landing with the White Sox, a short-term signing that reflects how teams are weighing upside against risk and flexibility. It's a move that raises questions about fit, timeline, and what both sides are really betting on as Murakami makes the jump to MLB. From there, the trade market comes into focus. Brandon Lowe heads to Pittsburgh, a deal that signals intent without locking the Pirates into long-term risk. At the same time, Baltimore adds Shane Baz, continuing to behave like a team that believes its competitive window is very real — and very open. Those moves create ripple effects elsewhere. The Rays once again load up on future assets, the Blue Jays and Diamondbacks monitor the Alex Bregman market, and San Diego opts for continuity, keeping Michael King in the fold while adding Sung-Mun Song. We also touch on Kansas City's bullpen move, another reminder of how aggressively teams are trying to solve late-inning depth. We wrap with listener interaction, breaking down the latest USA First Base debate, where the results were decisive — and revealing in terms of how our audience value upside, age, and track record heading into the next international cycle. Steve and Devin connect the dots across signings, trades, and market behavior, keeping the focus on process over headlines as the offseason continues to evolve. ⚾️ Measured bets, shifting leverage, and trade dominoes starting to fall — winter baseball is officially underway.

The latest episode of The Point delivered one of the most engaging debates of the offseason as the panel broke down the Pirates' blockbuster three-team trade for Brandon Lowe and what it signals about the organization's direction. With John Perrotto, Stephen Nesbitt, Kody Duncan, and Doug “Dougie Fresh” weighing in, the conversation centered on whether this move truly shifts expectations for 2026 or simply raises the floor. The group discussed Lowe's impact as a proven left-handed power bat, the cost of dealing Mike Burrows, and whether this trade represents a real “win-now” pivot or just the beginning. From there, the focus shifted overseas, debating whether the Pirates should aggressively pursue Japanese stars Munetaka Murakami or Kazuma Okamoto to address their glaring infield needs. Strong opinions, sharp analysis, and plenty of pushback made this a must-watch episode, capped off by a live audience vote to crown the night's winner.

A scary situation out of Steelers practice as TJ Watt was sent to a local hospital after a lung concern that took place while getting treatment at the facility. The Steelers have a 1-11 record, including the playoffs, without Watt on the field. Are they better backfilled than they were in the past? This is a big opportunity for Nick Herbig and possibly Jack Sawyer on Monday night. We compared it to the Tyrod Taylor situation with the Chargers back in 2020 that led to Justin Herbert getting his first start. An ESPN update on TJ Watt doesn't tell us much new. We revisited the 1 win the Steelers have without TJ Watt on the field. PG writer Jason Mackey joined the show. After the Pirates missed on big hitters the MLB Winter Meetings, Jason thinks they are truly in on conversations with the Rays for power-hitting infielder Brandon Lowe. He doesn't expect it to take a ton in return. Jason isn't sure if the Buccos will pull in a big-time guy, but thinks names like Jorge Polanco or Eugenio Suarez are possible. What else could be headed in the Pirates' direction?

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Jason Mackey and Colin Beazley recap Day 2 of the MLB winter meetings in Orlando, Fla. This show is presented by FanDuel. What did super-agent Scott Boras have to say about the Pirates' aggressiveness at this year's winter meetings? The Pirates missed out on Kyle Schwarber, who re-signed with his old team, the Phillies, but what does Pittsburgh's offer tell us about how they're approaching the offseason? Who are among Jason and Colin's top choices remaining for GM Ben Cherington via free agency or trade? Eugenio Suarez? Brandon Lowe? Is it a failure if they don't get anything done? And is all the talk about a more aggressive Pirates offseason ringing true? Our duo tackles those topics and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The AMA with Stephen Nesbitt of The Athletic gave us one of the clearest looks yet at how the Pirates are approaching this offseason. Nesbitt explained why Pittsburgh's presence at the Winter Meetings actually feels different this year, what's real about their interest in bigger bats, and why the pressure to win in 2026 is shaping every move they consider. From potential fits like Brandon Lowe or Colton Cowser to the evolving philosophy inside the organization, Stephen brought a sharp, national lens to a team suddenly in the middle of the conversation. If you want a grounded, insightful read on where the Pirates truly stand, this is the breakdown you need. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

NS9LIVE! closed out its final night at the Winter Meetings with a fast-paced, wide-ranging breakdown of everything the Pirates did — and didn't — get done in Orlando. The show opened with the headline everyone's talking about: Pittsburgh's aggressive push for Kyle Schwarber, a real offer north of $100 million that still couldn't keep him from returning to Philadelphia. From there, the conversation shifted to the Pirates' actual moves, including the signing of Gregory Soto to bolster the bullpen and the savvy Rule 5 flip of Carter Baumler for cash and a young arm the front office believes it can mold. But the heart of the episode focused on what comes next. Brandon Lowe trade talks are heating up, Jorge Polanco appears to be the club's most serious target, and the Astros' interest in pitching could spark discussions around bats like Isaac Paredes. Throughout the show, Jim and DiNardo emphasized that while the Pirates talked big all week, now comes the part where they must actually execute. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The latest NS9 AMA with Alex Stumpf of MLB.com gave Pirates fans a clearer picture of how aggressively the team is operating at the Winter Meetings. Stumpf detailed why Jorge Polanco has emerged as the Pirates' top priority, how the club plans to distribute resources after missing on Kyle Schwarber, and why the Schwarber offer was legitimate despite outside skepticism. He also weighed in on Brandon Lowe, potential trade avenues, and key rumors involving players like Cattell Marte and Cody Bellinger.

The Point dove into one of the busiest stretches of Pirates news we've seen in years, and the panel did not hold back. Jim welcomed Josh Booth, Jason Mackey, Tyler, and Neil to break down the blockbuster trade that sent Johan Oviedo to Boston in exchange for “The Password” himself, Jhostynxon Garcia. The crew debated whether Garcia can truly solve Pittsburgh's left-field problem, how his power and defensive versatility fit long-term, and whether his swing-and-miss profile should worry fans. From there, the conversation shifted to the upcoming Winter Meetings, where each panelist picked their No. 1 target—ranging from Kyle Schwarber to Brandon Lowe to Eugenio Suárez to Steven Kwan—and explained why that move could reshape the 2026 roster.

Keep or Kut - Pete (@PeteBBaseball) took part in the Pitcher List Podcast Network mock draft in Octobter. This week, Chad Young (@chadyoung) grills Pete (nicely) on his strategy, his picks, what went well, what didn't, and what he learned. Along the way, they try to bring in some keeper league thoughts, as well.1:40 - What makes a draft like this different from a keeper draft - and what makes this draft particularly unique?11:09 - Picking 11th, Pete made a tactical choice to wait on pitching, knowing he could get his ace at 14, landing Fernando Tatis, Jr. and Paul Skenes.17:43 - At the 3/4 turn, Pete went bat-arm again, this time maybe reaching for a bat he loves (Roman Anthony) and taking an unexpected 2nd ace who fell (Yoshinobu Yamamoto)23:21 - Pitching keeps falling so in the 5th and 6th, Pete ends up with a third ace in Max Fried and fills SS with Bo Bichette.29:24 - Are we feeling different about Bichette in keepers vs. redraft?31:37 - In the 7th and 8th, Pete is feeling good about his three-headed ace and is looking for bats to strengthen his offense. He finds Brandon Lowe and Eugenio Suarez at two relatively weak positions.37:34- Among a run of hitters joining Pete's team, Pete takes his first closer, and opts for Aroldis Chapman over Cade Smith, then follows that up with Spencer Torkelson in the 10th, Michael Harris in the 11th and Teoscar Hernandez in the 12th.50:48 - Pete jumps back in the pitching market adding Tanner Bibee and Emmet Sheehan over a slew of other pitchers going in this range, before grabbing Kenley Jansen at the end of a closer run.55:54 - On the other side of the turn after Jansen, Pete grabs Luis Robert, Jr., one of a number of buy-low bounce backs (too many, perhaps) he grabbed in this draft. Then he adds Jonathan Aranda and Mackenzie Gore, who really shouldn't be buy-lows.1:02:06 - Pete closes out with a high upside play (Munetaka Murakami), his starting C (Drake Baldwin), a couple additional SP (Parker Messick and Brayan Bello), and a guy whose second half was better than you think (Christian Walker).1:11:44 - A quick look at a few players who went undrafted but could be interesting.Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher | TuneIn | Google Podcasts | RSSConnect: Twitter | keeporkut@gmail.com | Join PL+Get PL+ and join our Discord: https://pitcherlist.com/plus Join Our Discord & Support The Show: PL+ | PL Pro - Get 15% off Yearly with code PODCASTProud member of the Pitcher List Fantasy Baseball Podcast Network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
