The Pirates made another move this morning, signing Marcell Ozuna to a one-year deal. Is the potentially awful defensive outfield an issue? Most of our listeners say that they are bought back in with the Pirates after this move.

Chris Dimino from 680 The Fan in Atlanta joined the show. Chris says that it feels like longer than two years ago that Marcell Ozuna had his elite season in 2024. He says that he will absolutely show flashes and put up numbers at points in a season. Chris also mentions that Ozuna may have an issue with his weight, especially if he is not healthy.
