Host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Pirates insider Colin Beazley to discuss the latest offseason developments with the club. Why did GM Ben Cherington decide to keep struggling outfielder Jack Suwinski ahead of the MLB non-tender deadline? Does he have a future in the outfield next to names like Bryan Reynolds and Oneil Cruz? And will Joey Bart, Dennis Santana, Johan Oviedo and Justin Lawrence all stay with the club through the deadline? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders 40-man roster decisions ahead of the MLB Rule 5 draft next month. Why did Cherington decide to protect prospects outfielder/first baseman Esmerlyn Valdez; infielder Jack Brannigan; right-handed pitchers Wilber Dotel, Antwone Kelly and Brandan Bidois; and left-hander Tyler Samaniego by adding them to the roster? And will the club miss Colin Holderman Dauri Moreta, Ronny Simon, Alexander Canario or Cam Devanney the players who were sent out to make room? Then the guys finish the show by talking about the Kyle Schwarber rumors from the week and whether they make sense for a Pirates roster with a lot of holes. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The 94 WIP Midday Show are reacting to Kyle Schwarber making it clear that he would be interested in playing for his hometown team Cincinnati Reds.

In hour 4, the 94 WIP Midday Show are continuing their previews of Eagles-Cowboys coming up this Sunday.

Kyle Schwarber has been flirting with the Cincinnati Reds in free agency and Joe Giglio does not like it. Listen at the end for today's edition of You People!
Today's 94 WIP Midday Show is debating whether or not this Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys is a trap game for the Eagles. Joe Giglio believes that it is a trap game, while Hugh Douglas thinks otherwise. AJ Brown was asked more questions about himself and the offense, and made some interesting comments regarding Saquon Barkley and Kevin Patullo. Jalen Hurts has not been featured in the run game as often as he has in recent years, and there is conversations of whether he should start running more. It certainly appears that the Eagles do not necessarily view the Cowboys as a different game, dismissing the idea that it is a rivalry. Based on the referee assignment, the Eagles could be saved this Sunday. Kyle Schwarber is seemingly trying to link himself with his hometown Cincinnati Reds in free agency. Listen in the last hour for this week's edition of Guess the Takes, and today's segment of You People.

Poni had a question for everyone to start today's show – where did the Mason Rudolph love come from? How much of the heavy lifting does the end of the 2023 season do? Chris said people love a comeback story going back to biblical days. Did he get a raw deal? People haven't seen him play bad football in Pittsburgh for a little while. Where does the love for Mason Rudolph come from? One caller, missing the point, wondered why the guys were ‘praising' Duck Hodges in 2019. Pirates/Penguins reporter Jason Mackey from the PG joined the show. Jason confirmed that the Pirates did offer Josh Naylor a contract, but doesn't think Naylor was close to leaving Seattle. Jason thinks they will spend some money this off-season, but players like Naylor and Kyle Schwarber are probably too rich. Jason questioned why a free agent worth $30M/year would come to Pittsburgh. Jason believes it's ‘very possible' that Konnor Griffin begins the 2026 season on the Pirates roster as their starting shortstop. Jason thinks the Pirates payroll will be right around $100M, but doubts it gets any higher than that. Jason thinks Eugenio Suarez could be the big move of the off-season, coming off a 49 HR season.

Welcome to Episode 118 of Tablesetters. The offseason opened with a major move, as Josh Naylor signed a five-year deal with the Seattle Mariners, immediately reshaping the first-base market. His return reinforces Seattle's lineup core and removes one of the most dependable bats from free agency. We break down why the deal came together quickly, why other teams never seriously entered the mix, and how his signing affects clubs still searching for first-base or middle-of-the-order help. Midway through the live show, the conversation shifted when news broke that the Orioles traded Grayson Rodriguez to the Angels for Taylor Ward. Rodriguez missed the entire 2025 season with arm injuries, but the Angels are betting on the upside he showed before the setbacks. Ward, under control through 2026, gives Baltimore a steady right-handed bat and immediate outfield stability. We break down how the trade fits each team's broader offseason plan and what it suggests about their priorities moving forward. The episode also covers one of the most unusual qualifying-offer cycles since the system's creation. Four players accepted the QO — Trent Grisham, Gleyber Torres, Shota Imanaga, and Brandon Woodruff — marking the first time more than three players have taken it in the same offseason. Grisham's decision is the most surprising, coming off a breakout 34-homer season in a thin outfield market. His acceptance raises the Yankees' payroll above the third luxury-tax tier and signals a calculated one-year bet on himself. Torres returns to Detroit looking for a healthier 2026 after playing through a sports hernia. Imanaga chose a reset with Chicago after a late-season downturn, and Woodruff accepted as expected as he continues his recovery from shoulder surgery. On the other side, nine players rejected the QO — Kyle Tucker, Kyle Schwarber, Bo Bichette, Framber Valdez, Dylan Cease, Ranger Suárez, Edwin Díaz, Zac Gallen, and Michael King — a group largely expected to pursue multi-year deals despite draft-pick compensation. Their decisions, combined with Grisham coming off the board, further thin the center-field market and shift clubs toward potential trade options. This QO cycle reflects a winter shaped by uncertainty around future labor conditions, stricter tax penalties, and mixed performances from several major free agents. In San Diego, the Padres' ownership evaluation remains ongoing. The Seidler family is formally exploring a potential sale while working through internal disputes and long-term financial considerations. The front office maintains a “business as usual” stance, but the review introduces real questions about payroll strategy and organizational stability heading into 2026. Award season added another layer to a busy week. Shohei Ohtani earned another unanimous MVP, and Aaron Judge secured his third after a tightly contested race. On the pitching side, Tarik Skubal won his second straight AL Cy Young Award, and Paul Skenes captured the NL honor just a year after winning Rookie of the Year — a rare progression that underscores how quickly he has become one of the league's most impactful pitchers. In Washington, the Nationals introduced Drew Butera as their new manager, making him the youngest skipper in Major League Baseball in more than 50 years. His development-focused background aligns with the organization's larger reset under Paul Toboni. The 2026 Hall of Fame ballot was also released, featuring returning candidates such as Carlos Beltrán and Andruw Jones along with first-time names including Cole Hamels, Ryan Braun, and Matt Kemp.
Kevin Cooney is present this evening, opening the show with a discussion about the ongoing drama surrounding the Eagles. Recent reports have highlighted the perceptions of Jalen Hurts among his teammates in the locker room. Kevin asserts that if the team is genuinely committed to winning another Super Bowl, they must set aside this distracting drama and concentrate on their primary objective.As the program progresses, Kevin shifts his focus to the Phillies as the free agency period begins. Today marked the deadline for players to accept the Qualifying Offer, which both Kyle Schwarber and Ranger Suarez opted to decline. With the Rule 5 Draft approaching, Kevin also informs us about the players the Phillies have chosen to include on their 40-man roster.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Jason Mackey and Colin Beazley preview the MLB Rule 5 draft and tough decisions GM Ben Cherington and manager Don Kelley will need to make for their roster as the offseason gets under way. This show is presented by FanDuel. Who from the group of Brandan Bidois, Esmerlyn Valdez, Antwone Kelly and Wilber Dotel should the duo protect with a 40-man roster spot? Which names on that list are more expendable than the others? And what type of player should the front office be looking to snag from other teams? Our duo tackles those questions; the coaching staff additions of Tony Beasley and Kristopher Negron; and reports linking the Pirates to Josh Naylor and Kyle Schwarber in free agency.

From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Its now officially hot stove season and Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are all over some oddly directive comments made by Craig Breslow at the GM meetings. Do we buy Breslow making his wants of a number two starter and power bat happen? Then, the two big bats the Red Sox are likely linked to are Kyle Schwarber and Pete Alonso and the contracts could be very different for the amount of want fans may have. And, Joe Ryan feels like a certain Sox target, but don't overlook Freddy Peralta if they strike out with Minnesota.

The Cincinnati Bengals (3-6) face a must-win scenario in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, November 16, at Acrisure Stadium. Trailing in the AFC North, the Bengals desperately need a victory to salvage their playoff hopes, especially after a gritty 24-17 win over Pittsburgh in Week 7, where Joe Flacco stepped in admirably, throwing for 342 yards. However, with Joe Burrow's status uncertain amid injury whispers, the offense hinges on Ja'Marr Chase's explosiveness and a resurgent ground game led by Chase Brown. The Steelers enter as 5.5-point favorites, with a total of 49.5 points signaling a high-scoring affair. Pittsburgh's defense, anchored by T.J. Watt, has terrorized quarterbacks, while their run-heavy attack with Najee Harris exploits Cincinnati's leaky front seven. Yet, the Bengals boast a perfect 2-0 divisional record this season and cover +5.5 in models like ESPN's, thanks to their pass rush disrupting Ben Roethlisberger's successor. Expect a revenge-fueled battle—Bengals ML +195 offers value for underdogs hungry to flip the script. Fresh off their first postseason berth since 2013, the Cincinnati Reds are buzzing with free agency ambition, and Kyle Schwarber tops the wishlist. ESPN's Jeff Passan calls signing the slugging DH the "perfect transaction" to turbocharge an offense that slashed .240 collectively in 2025. The Cincinnati native crushed 47 homers with an .928 OPS for the Phillies, thriving in a hitter-friendly park like GABP, where his pull power could yield 50+ dingers annually. Rumors hinge on a $60 million variable—Schwarber's Phillies loyalty versus Cincy's hometown pull and deeper pockets post-playoff revenue. A projected six-year, $150M deal could pair him with Elly De La Cruz for a fearsome core, transforming the Reds into NL Central contenders. Local ties ignite belief: Schwarber to Reds feels destined, per insiders, bridging nostalgia with firepower for 2026 glory. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).
