The Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates kick off a three-game series at Great American Ball Park this weekend, April 11-13, 2025, with both teams looking to climb out of the NL Central basement. Tied for last place, this matchup feels like a generational clash of two franchises struggling to recapture past glory. The Reds, favored slightly at -155 for Friday's opener, aim to capitalize on home-field advantage, while the Pirates, at +129, hope to spoil the party. Friday's game sets the tone with Reds' right-hander Brady Singer facing Pittsburgh's lefty Bailey Falter. Singer, projected to anchor Cincinnati's rotation, looks to exploit a Pirates offense averaging a meager 2.6 runs over their last five games, with a .198 batting average and just one homer in their past three. Falter, coming off a rough outing against the Yankees, allowed seven runs, but his earlier start showed promise with only two earned runs over six innings. The Reds' lineup, led by Elly De La Cruz's .250 average and 12 RBI, will test Falter's ability to rebound. TJ Friedl and Jose Trevino add depth, though Cincinnati's 26th-ranked .231 team average last season suggests inconsistency. Saturday's 6:40 p.m. ET clash and Sunday's 1:40 p.m. ET finale remain murkier, with Pittsburgh's Carmen Mlodzinski slated for Sunday but no Reds starter confirmed. Cincinnati's rotation faces challenges, with Andrew Abbott potentially returning from injury, but their pitching staff boasts a 3.15 ERA and 0.98 WHIP, a clear edge over Pittsburgh's sputtering offense. The Pirates dodge a bullet missing Paul Skenes, whose absence leaves their rotation thinner. Pittsburgh's -19 run differential, worst in the NL Central, underscores their early-season woes. Both teams have injury concerns: Cincinnati's Matt McLain, Tyler Stephenson, and others are sidelined, while Pittsburgh's Johan Oviedo remains out. Yet, this series feels like a chance for the Reds to make a statement. Their losses have been close, unlike Pittsburgh's blowouts. With Friday's game on Apple TV+ and the weekend on FanDuel Sports Ohio, fans can expect tight, low-scoring affairs—Vegas sets the over/under at 8.5 runs for Friday. De La Cruz's speed and power could tilt the scales, but Pittsburgh's Bryan Reynolds might counter if he finds his groove. Expect a gritty, pivotal series as both teams fight for early momentum.

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Andrew Destin and Noah Hiles report from the second day of spring training in Bradenton, Fla. What's the latest on Johan Oviedo a year removed from his Tommy John surgery after holding down the 2023 rotation with Mitch Keller? Is he on the fast track for the last rotation spot over names like Bubba Chandler, Mike Burrows and Braxton Ashcraft? What should fans expect from new acquisition Darick Hall, who will get an extended look at first base in the absence of trade acquisition Spencer Horwitz? And what did Noah and Andrew glean from first-round pick Konnor Griffin's batting practice session? Our duo answers those questions and more.

On the Friday mailbag edition of his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey breaks down the reasons why the Bengals scare him ahead of Week 13 when the Steelers visit Cincinnati on Sunday afternoon. Jason also talks about the Penguins needing to build on Wednesday's performance before getting into reader questions, including who he believes is the franchise's best all-time goalkeeper. Then, he tackles a number of baseball topics, including the cap/floor in MLB's next CBA, Johan Oviedo's future role, Nick Gonzales at shortstop and the Pirates' 2025 starting rotation.

Oneil Cruz is going to center field and Shelton views center as the best place for Cruz moving forward. Johan Oviedo is progressing well recovering from Tommy John Surgery and will be limited in his way back.

Hour 3 with Paul Zeise: Pirates manager Derek Shelton joined the show. Oneil Cruz is going to center field and Shelton views center as the best place for Cruz moving forward. Johan Oviedo is progressing well recovering from Tommy John Surgery and will be limited in his work to be healthy for next season. Ke'Bryan Hayes is going through additional tests today and the Pirates are pretty hopeful he can play again this season.

Hour two with Paul Zeise. Johan Oviedo is coming back, plus Braxton Ashcraft and Bubba Chandler give the Pirates options. Rowdy Tellez could get the Pirates something back on the trade front, but now would be an unpopular move to trade him. They haven't had an extended winning or losing streak in a while and Andrew doesn't see the Pirates buying unless they string together 5/6. What would you ask Pirates manager Derek Shelton? Will they buy?

Hour 1 with Dorin Dickerson: The Pirates have made a major splash in free agency. According to multiple reports, the Pirates signed left-handed reliever Aroldis Chapman to a 1-year, $10.5 million deal. Remember when Chapman hit McCutchen in the back while on the Reds in 2012? McCutchen and Chapman played together on the Yankees in 2018. It will be ok. Austin likes the signing and thinks it needs to be the tip of the iceberg.  More moves need to follow this, especially in the rotation. Bechtold baseball breakdown. The Pirates bullpen is deep, but what comes next? The Bucs need to add starting pitching to have a well-rounded staff. The Johan Oviedo and Endy Rodriguez injuries hurt, but you are going into spring knowing they aren't playing. There shouldn't be any issue between Chapman and Cutch. The move makes the team better and why people should be excited. The Penguins scored a goal... on their own net. Kris Letang passed the puck back to Evgeni Malkin during a delayed penalty with Tristan Jarry to the bench for the extra attacker. Letang's puck went off Malkin's stick and into the net to make it a two-goal deficit. The own goal was terrible. We discuss the position the Pens have put themselves in. They're not going to trade Malkin or Letang. Erik Karlsson was supposed to be the new piece that fixed things.  Do the Pirates have the brighter future than the Steelers and Penguins? Austin thinks the Pirates over the next few years have better results coming than the Penguins. Dorin believes it's one of the most frustrating times in Pittsburgh sports in a long time. 

Tons of news came our way Tuesday.The biggest came internally on the roster as young, up and coming catcher Endy Rodriguez is slated to have UCL surgery and will miss the entirety of the 2024 season. Pair that with the Johan Oviedo news we received earlier this off-season, and it may be time to evaluate the Pirates goals differently for next season.Along with that, the Pirates made another signing, bringing in Rowdy Tellez on a major league deal. Tellez's performance in 2023 left much to be desired, but if he can rekindle some of his 2022 form, did the Pirates find a cost effective diamond in the rough?Finally, it was announced Wednesday that the Pirates will now be apart of SportsNet Pittsburgh alongside the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Well it has now become official news. Johan Oviedo will have Tommy John Surgery and be out for all of 2024. Johan had a pretty successful season he was coming off of where he showed glimpses of being a real threat on the mound through his struggles of a full season's worth of innings. This officially leaves the Pirates with only one pitcher you feel confident in their rotation and that is Mitch Keller. As it is now very clear that the Pirates will need to add multiple pitchers to next season's rotation, there has already been a handful who have signed to other teams. Names like Aaron Nola, Lance Lynn, Kyle Gibson, and Kenta Maeda have all signed this past week. What do these signings mean for the Pirates in their desire to compete?

On their weekly Pitching In podcast, Post-Gazette Pirates insider Jason Mackey is joined by club TV analyst Michael McKenry to discuss hot offseason topics. Among them: How will general manager Ben Cherington replace starter Johan Oviedo in MLB free agency after news of his season-ending injury? Could Cherington choose to non-tender any members of last year's roster before the deadline Friday? What should we make of the club's 40-man roster going into the Rule 5 draft? And should Henry Davis continue to find himself in the Pirates' catching mix?

Oh boy! It was first reported by Jason Mackey that Johan Oviedo is dealing with right elbow discomfort and currently Tommy John surgery has at least been discussed. This can't be good for a team looking to contend in 2024 who finished the season with just a 2-man rotation as is. Let's vent and get our frustrations out first, but then look to what possibly could be the solutions for this upcoming season's rotation. The MLB deadline to protect players from the Rule 5 Draft was last night at 6 pm, and the Pirates (last minute as always) decided to protect Tsung-Che Cheng and Braxton Ashcraft. We essentially called this to be exactly the case, but let's take a look at what it means now with two roster spots open after the Wil Crowe news of being released. We then touch on some other news like the Pirates hiring Justin Horowitz and the updated Baseball America Pirates Top 10 Prospect list.

Following the injury to Johan Oviedo which has left a shell of a rotation in its wake, how much pressure is on Keller in 2024 and is he the most important piece to a successful season next year?

Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting Johan Oviedo may need Tommy John Surgery for the Pirates. This is VERY BAD and the rotation depth is not there. Quinn Priester, Luis Ortiz, and Roansy Contreras don't inspire confidence. The Pirates need to add multiple starting pitchers and focus on it in free agency in trades. This changes a lot for the Bucs. 

Hour 1: The Steelers are 6-3 and not turning the football over. Buffalo had 12 guys on the field when Denver missed a game-winning field goal! The Bills might not make the playoffs, while the Steelers are in a great spot. Josh Allen has an interception in six-straight games. Pickett has gone five-straight games without an interception. The Steelers are 10-1 when Kenny Pickett starts and closes the game without a turnover. Would the Bills have won against Denver if Kenny Pickett was their quarterback? Austin doesn't think you can be a true Super Bowl contender unless you have one of the top 5-7 quarterbacks. The Steelers are running the ball at a great clip now. They don't turn the ball over! The defense forces turnovers and Broderick Jones has helped the running game. The Raiders are better once they fire a coach for the second time in a few years. Dorin wants to see the Ravens beat the Bengals and stop Cincinnati's playoff chances. It further helps to try and eliminate a possible playoff team. The Bengals are lacking AFC wins and have a tough schedule to close the season. Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting Johan Oviedo may need Tommy John Surgery for the Pirates.
