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?

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.

Oneil Cruz dazzled in the HR Derby last night, including a homer that went 513 feet.

He claimed he enjoyed watching Cruz put on a show even though he didn't want him to do well. Poni attacked Jeff Hathhorn for suggesting the Pirates should sign Cruz long-term after last night. The guys revisited a thought yesterday – what if Cruz has a 30 HR, 50 SB season despite otherwise lackluster numbers?

The Pirates lineup from last night that never took the field was hideous.

Ray shared his initial impressions of Aaron Rodgers, and what changes (if any) Arthur Smith could make to suit Rodgers' strengths. Ray doesn't see too many differences in watching Rodgers vs Mason Rudolph right now. He also notes to be on the lookout for Calvin Austin III to potentially become the WR2. Regarding T.J. Watt, Ray thinks a deal with Watt and the team will eventually get done. Ray says undrafted TE JJ Galbreath has stood out a little so far. – An Oakmont check-in with Jeff Hathhorn. – Hodgepodge of Nothingness.

- Jonathan Jones from CBS Sports reported that the Steelers are ‘low-balling' other teams to acquire an extra pass-catcher. It could be a WR or TE. According to a Tik Tok post by Keenan Allen, he won't be a Steeler. The guys went through a few other teams/players that the Steelers should have their eyes on if they want to go for it. If the Steelers are serious, why not up the price? The guys said there are moves the Steelers made this offseason that could make them look really smart or really stupid. – Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve reacted to the Steelers finally signing Aaron Rodgers and how that raises the ceiling for the Steelers. He talked about a few things Rodgers falls in love with and a few things he sometimes will refuse to do. Steve said Rodgers didn't have a ton of trust in his receivers last season. The Steelers are at odds with TJ Watt in terms of a new contract – the guys asked Steve what should happen between both sides. Steve believes they should lock up Watt for a few more years at market value. Steve said the Jets offensive line was OK and was not as bad as everyone will tell you. Steve said the Steelers still have 2-3 big question marks on their own offensive line and you can't just assume it will be a good group. Steve said bringing back Justin Fields did have some upside for the Steelers, but there's no guarantee in that. Steve told the guys he does like this plan a little bit better than the team going big money for a player like Geno Smith or Sam Darnold. – An Oakmont check-in with Jeff Hathhorn.

Sean McVay admitted that the Rams were ready to go after Aaron Rodgers if they didn't have Matt Stafford back. What would Rodgers look like in LA? The guys debated if that was one of the places he would thrive due to the offensive mind behind the talent that is still left in Rodgers' game.

Jeff said they do like Kaleb Johnson a whole lot already. Derrick Harmon was already anointed a starter, which goes against their history. How much of a drop off is there among the QBs? Jeff shared a few stories from practice today.

Is it ridiculous to want Justin Fields instead of Aaron Rodgers right now? The guys don't think Fields will flourish, but it's as much about the team he's with as it is about the player. Who will have better numbers? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff talked about the first impressions from Aaron Rodgers wearing a Steelers uniform.

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff said Beanie Bishop was the big story of today's OTA session because of the video he posted on Instagram. Jeff backed up what Bishop did and thinks it's good for rivalries in college football. Jeff said Bishop took it upon himself to speak, but the team didn't force him to do so. Jeff doesn't think this is a reason why Bishop could get cut – that would have to be due to on-field performance.
