Andrew McCutchen faced the Pittsburgh Pirates as an opponent again, but the biggest story wasn't what he said. It was what he wouldn't say. In this episode of OffBeat, Alex Stumpf breaks down McCutchen's first comments to Pittsburgh media since joining the Texas Rangers, the questions that had to be asked, and why the non-answers may have revealed just as much as any quote could have. From the disappointment of how his Pirates return ended to the bigger picture of what his legacy still means to the organization, this episode dives into a relationship that still feels unfinished. The story between Andrew McCutchen and the Pirates may not be over, but it's clear there is still something there.

Is Aaron Rodgers really going to sign? We think they're going to pick a quarterback but in the middle rounds. Did the Pirates do wrong by Andrew McCutchen? He clearly seems upset by not wanting to talk about the Pirates much as the Rangers play the Pirates.

Alex Stumpf of Book-Rule Bucs joined the show. Andrew McCutchen passed on answering questions about the Pirates. Alex thinks the omission said more than what his words maybe could have. Alex heard that McCutchen wasn't at the top of their priorities list. The Pirates are in a great NL Central again.

Pirates insider Jason Mackey joined the show. What actually happened with Andrew McCutchen? The Pirates did communicate, but we don't know how much they talked to Cutch. Jason thinks the Pirates would have brought McCutchen back if he said this is his final season. Jason said it was awkward talking to McCutchen and it felt very strange.

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Mark guarantees that Aaron Rodgers will be back and puts it at 99.9%. Mark thinks there is a framework for what the contract will look like. Mark doesn't think the Steelers will sign Nick Herbig. Mark has the Steelers trading up to 17 with the Lions to pick Denzel Boston.

Andrew McCutchen passed on answering questions about his past negotiations with the Pirates. Alex heard that McCutchen wasn't at the top of their priorities list.

Andrew McCutchen is set to face the Pirates, and OffBeat takes a hard look at everything that led to this moment. Alex Stumpf breaks down McCutchen's place in franchise history, why his return to Pittsburgh in 2023 felt so meaningful, why the relationship with the organization seemed to fracture, and why a reunion in 2026 no longer made baseball sense. This episode dives into the emotion of McCutchen's Pirates legacy, the reality of where his game was at this stage of his career, and why this awkward ending still does nothing to diminish what he meant to baseball in Pittsburgh.

Hour 3 of Fan After Dark continues with Kane McCutchen Joining the program, Blake breaks down the Gucci Mane and Pooh Shiesty drama. and there's another round of Extra Credit.

Finish Your Breakfast: 4.1.2026 (April Fools') - Andrew McCutchen was not in the Rangers' lineup last night, but his hot start is worth noting. McCutchen is batting 455/455/909 to start the season. And to think, some teams thought he was washed (Pirates). No matter how his book ends, I am happy Cutch is having this chapter.In a 3-2 loss to the Phillies, seven of the Nationals' eight total hits came from American-born Black players (Lile, Nuñez, Wood, and Abrams). That stat has me wondering: What team has had the most hits by American-born Black players in the past few years? That's worth looking up. Cam Smith, Drake Baldwin, Victor Scott II, and Stanton all made the highlights. Not highlighted: Justin Crawford got a hit and scored a run. Rate my hat, it is a good one. See you tomorrow.

Andrew McCutchen nearly walked away from baseball before landing with the Texas Rangers on a minor league deal, and now he's suddenly part of the Opening Day lineup. After admitting there was a strong chance he wouldn't even play in 2026, McCutchen is embracing a new opportunity in Texas with something to prove. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Michael can see it either way with Konnor Griffin being on the MLB roster to start the year. Griffin hasn't ever failed in the minors and he needs to be mentally right. Henry Davis hit well the last two spring trainings, but Michael thinks he's using this spring differently to work out adjustments. What can Pirates fans expect from the Pirates young rotation, including Skenes and Bubba Chandler this year?

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson reflect on the career of Andrew McCutchen following the Pirates' decision to sign DH Marcell Ozuna. February 10, 2026, 6:00 Hour

Nicholas "Harry" Callas addresses what is likely to be the end of Andrew McCutchen's tenure with the Pirates after the team decided to sign DH Marcell Ozuna on Monday.

Signing Marcell Ozuna likely marks the end of the Andrew McCutchen era. McCutchen is probably the most beloved Pirate since Willie Stargell. The Pirates appear ready to move on. This definitely could have been handled better but the Pirates have added bats who are better than McCutchen at this point in his baseball career.

This is a sad way for the Andrew McCutchen era to end. It was a good three years with him. McCutchen changed his profile picture from him in a Pirates jersey to a picture of a player swinging a bat. Jeff would like to see Malik Willis be the quarterback over Aaron Rodgers. When and where are the Steelers going to get a quarterback??

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: This is a sad way for the Andrew McCutchen era to end. It was a good three years with him. McCutchen changed his profile picture from him in a Pirates jersey to a picture of a player swinging a bat. The Patriots have been to 20% of the Super Bowls. The Olympics are here and we watched some curling. We are excited for Olympic hockey!

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Donny Football: Garrett gives Mike McCarthy's tenure in Dallas a B to B+. McCarthy calls plays, but Garrett said the offensive coordinator does have an impact in the gameplan, red zone packages, and third down plays. Crowley reported that Andrew McCutchen met with Bob Nutting on Thursday. Pitt is decreasing capacity by 17,000 and will have over 51,000 on gameday instead of 68,000.

Crowley reported that Andrew McCutchen met with Bob Nutting on Thursday. It feels like the potential is there for Nutting to tell Ben Cherington that McCutchen needs to come back for one year. Pitt is decreasing capacity by 17,000 and will have over 51,000 on gameday instead of 68,000.

Jason Mackey from The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette comes on in this hour to address the latest rumors surrounding Pirates' legend Andrew McCutchen, to discuss why Penguins' head coach Dan Muse isn't a favorite to win coach of the year in the NHL and more with Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson! January 30, 2026, 9:00 Hour

A potential scoop from Donny to start today's show after he got a text that Aaron Rodgers ‘will be back, period.' Do fans want this? Will this do anything for the Steelers? It feels like another case of kicking the can down the road. Rodgers said Mike Tomlin was the only coach he wanted to play for, but the Steelers hired the only other coach that would fall under that category in the form of Mike McCarthy. Why is there a fear of this team looking to the future? The Steelers and Mike McCarthy are starting to fill out the staff, including James Campen, who coached over a decade with McCarthy in Green Bay and is also a favorite of Aaron Rodgers. How do fans feel? Pirates insider Jason Mackey from the PG joined the show. Where are things at with Andrew McCutchen and the Pirates? Jason thinks there is a spot for Cutch on the team, but in what role? Jason gets a strong feel that McCutchen wants to play in Pittsburgh even though some people are telling him Cutch has a market around the league. Jason said Paul Skenes is the ‘hub' of the current Pirates team and it might be tough for McCutchen to face that fact. Jason mentioned that trading Joey Bart would open up a slot for Cutch to be the team's DH again at a full-time role. Would this permanently strain the Pirates-McCutchen relationship? The guys don't understand why Cutch doesn't want to try chasing a championship. Jason isn't sure if Cutch is good enough to be on a true contender's roster.

Ben Cherington spoke. Andrew McCutchen responded. And now the future of Cutch in Pittsburgh feels more uncertain than ever. On this live episode of Bucco Brew, we break down McCutchen's social media comments, Cherington's answers at PiratesFest, and what it all really means for whether Cutch comes back in 2026. Is this just bad timing and awkward messaging, or is the door quietly closing on a Pirates reunion? We also talk about how the Pirates are handling this, whether they owe McCutchen a clearer answer, and what a one year deal would actually mean for the roster.

Andrew McCutchen and the Pirates are having what appears to be a messy divorce. It seems the Pirates are avoiding the McCutchen talk. McCutchen took to social media to talk about how frustrated he is with the Pirates. If he's not coming back the Pirates deserve to tell him. The Penguins won again in Vancouver and Ben Kindel scored two goals. Dan Muse has gotten the most out of this roster and has good depth scoring.

More talk on Christian Parker, Kane McCutchen joins the show to talk all things Texas Rangers, and Fair or Foul.

Mark and Tommy Radio discuss the hype generated by Steelers fans over the Ravens' loss to the Lions, Andrew McCutchen's desire to keep playing with the Pirates, and the Pitt Panthers retiring Aaron Donald's No. 97 jersey.
