Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Jason Mackey and Colin Beazley react to the hot topics surrounding the new as the World Series between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers unfolds and key offseason decisions loom. This show is presented by FanDuel. How should fans feel about GM Ben Cherington and manager Don Kelly's hiring of Bill Murphy as pitching coach, replacing Oscar Marin? Can Paul Skenes continue to dominate MLB under Murphy's tutelage? And is he a lock to win the Cy Young award in a few weeks? What should the Pirates do with Mitch Keller this offseason? Keep him in the rotation or trade him for a bat who could help out Bryan Reynolds, Oneil Cruz and others in the lineup? And which young pitchers from the group of Johan Oviedo, Braxton Ashcraft and Mike Burrows will make the rotation? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Post-Gazette Pirates insiders Colin Beazley and Jason Mackey return for their first podcast of the MLB offseason talking arbitration decisions looming for GM Ben Cherington and manager Don Kelly. How much are names like Oneil Cruz, Dennis Santana, Joey Bart, Johan Oviedo and Colin Holderman worth to this team? Could any of them, or others like Jack Suwinski, Justin Lawrence, Yohan Ramirez or Dauri Moreta be non-tender candidates? And how does the potential re-signing -- or lack thereof -- of Andrew McCutchen factor into the conversation? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The NLCS kicks off tomorrow and October baseball is heating up — but in Pittsburgh, the biggest question isn't about the playoffs, it's about Oneil Cruz. On today's Bucco Brew, we talk through what the Pirates should do with Cruz moving forward, plus Matt Hague staying with the staff and updates from the Arizona Fall League. Presented by De Fer Coffee & Tea.

Join Kyle (@sonny_108), Lucas (@theprospectprof) and Greg (@greghoogkamp) as they examine the Nationals and Pirates organizations in our second pair of teams in our Dynasty Outlook series this offseason. The guys discuss the dynasty value of players on the Nationals and Pirates, and topics like if tearing down a roster to the foundation is a successful strategy in MLB or dynasty or if building a roster with pitching and supplementing it with hitting later on is a viable strategy.Nationals players discussed: James Wood, Daylen Lile, CJ Abrams, Luis Garcia Jr., Josh Bell, Brady House, Mackenzie Gore, Cade Cavalli, Jose Ferrer, Eli Willits, Ethan Petry, Miguel Sime Jr.Pirates players discussed: Oneil Cruz, Bryan Reynolds, Spencer Horwitz, Joey Bart, Henry Davis, Rafael Flores, Paul Skenes, Jared Jones, Bubba Chander, Hunter Barco, Braxton Ashcraft, Thomas Harrington, Seth Hernandez, Carmen Mlodzynski, Dennis Santana, Brandan Bidois, Sammy Stafura, Konnor Griffin, Edward Florentino, Termarr Johnson, Esmerlyn Valdez

MLB Trade Rumors just dropped their projected 2026 arbitration figures, and there are some tough decisions ahead for Ben Cherington and the Pirates' front office. From Joey Bart's $2.7M projection to Oneil Cruz's $3.6M, the numbers tell a story about who's earned a raise — and who might be on the bubble. On this episode of North Shore Nine LIVE, we're breaking down every name, debating who should return, and what these figures say about the Pirates' 2026 payroll strategy. We'll cover: ⚾️ Who's worth bringing back?

Greg in Youngstown is irritated the Cleveland Guardians also can't hit but got hot at the right time and made the postseason. The Pirates are keeping Don Kelly and likely Ben Cherington. Will they finally add offense? Jack Suwinski, Henry Davis, Oneil Cruz, and many others hurt the team a ton offensively.

North Shore Nine Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Brothers. Paul Skenes made history, finishing the season with a sub-2.00 ERA—the first qualified MLB pitcher to do so since 2022. In a wild 4–3 extra-inning win over the Reds, the Pirates dealt a serious blow to Cincinnati's playoff push behind Skenes' dominance, a clutch Spencer Horwitz double in the 11th, and big moments from Jack Suwinski and the bullpen. Tyler and Neil break down every twist: Skenes vs. Hunter Greene, Oneil Cruz's daring wall play, Henry Davis' struggles, and how Pittsburgh embraced the spoiler role to make life tough for their division rivals. They also hand out the final Primanti Bros. sandwich giveaways of the year and look ahead to the offseason.

Off The Bench is back weekdays from 10a to 11a followed by The Stone Shields Show from 11a to noon! Under the glaring lights of Great American Ball Park, the Cincinnati Reds' playoff dreams flickered and faded in the cruel twilight of extra innings. On September 24, 2025, a fired-up crowd of 30,725 watched in stunned silence as the Pittsburgh Pirates snatched a 4-3 victory in the 11th, delivering a dagger to Cincinnati's NL wild-card hopes. Tied with Arizona and just one game behind the Mets entering the night, the Reds now stare at a precarious half-game deficit with only five contests left—a loss that feels like the backbreaker in a season of tantalizing what-ifs. The evening began as a pitcher's duel for the ages, pitting Reds ace Hunter Greene against Pirates phenom Paul Skenes, the NL Cy Young frontrunner. Greene, battling for his 8th win, scattered five hits over six innings, allowing two earned runs while fanning seven. But Skenes was untouchable, surrendering just four hits in six scoreless frames, whiffing seven and etching his name in franchise lore with his 211th strikeout—a Pirates record for a righty. Pittsburgh scratched out a 2-0 lead in the second on Bryan Reynolds' RBI single and Oneil Cruz's sacrifice fly, quieting the home faithful. Hope ignited in the eighth. Down 2-0, Noelvi Marte unleashed chaos with his first career inside-the-park homer, a liner off the wall that caromed wildly into left-center, allowing him to circle the bases untouched. The GABP erupted. Then, in the ninth, Tyler Stephenson crushed a solo shot off closer Dennis Santana, knotting it at 2-2 and forcing extras. "Stephenson's blast was pure adrenaline," Reds manager Terry Francona said postgame. "We had momentum." But baseball's heartless script twisted in the 10th. Jack Suwinski's RBI double plated the go-ahead run for a 3-2 Pirates edge. The Reds clawed back on Gavin Lux's sacrifice fly, tying it once more at 3-3. Agony peaked in the 11th: Spencer Horwitz's leadoff double scored Reynolds—his third run of the night—for a 4-3 lead. Cincinnati loaded the bases with two outs, hearts pounding, only for Marte to ground into a momentum-crushing force out against Yohan Ramirez. Final out. Ballgame over.

On Off The Bench and The Stone Shields Show today we discuss the Reds crushing loss to the Pirates last night, Paul Skenes vs. Hunter Greene tonight, the latest Bengals news and more! Off The Bench is back weekdays from 10a to 11a followed by The Stone Shields Show from 11a to noon! In a gut-wrenching setback for Cincinnati's playoff dreams, the Reds fell 4-2 to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night at Great American Ball Park, snapping their five-game winning streak and dropping them a full game behind the New York Mets for the NL's final wild-card spot. The loss couldn't have come at a worse time, with only a handful of games left in the regular season and the Reds clinging to faint postseason hopes. The game unraveled early for Reds starter Brady Singer, who imploded in the second inning, surrendering four runs on five hits—including a two-run homer from Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz—that chased him after just 1.1 innings. Singer's command faltered, ballooning his season ERA to 3.95 and leaving Cincinnati in an early hole. Pittsburgh's Johan Oviedo, making his eighth start, steadied the ship for the visitors, allowing just two runs over five innings despite a shaky Reds lineup. Cincinnati clawed back briefly when sparkplug shortstop Elly De La Cruz crushed a 415-foot two-run homer in the bottom of the second, his second blast in as many games after ending a 43-game drought. But the Reds' offense sputtered thereafter, stranding runners in key spots, including a bases-loaded threat in the sixth snuffed out by rookie reliever Hunter Barco's debut gem. The bullpen held firm, but it wasn't enough against a Pirates squad playing spoiler. Tonight's game (6:40 p.m. ET) pits two of baseball's brightest young arms in a must-win for Cincinnati: Reds ace Hunter Greene (7-4, 2.74 ERA) versus Pirates phenom Paul Skenes (10-10, 2.03 ERA). Greene, the flamethrowing righty, has been lights-out lately, fanning 10+ in four of his last five starts, but faces a tall order against Skenes—the 2024 NL Rookie of the Year and Cy Young frontrunner—who's chasing a sub-2.00 ERA in his final outing. Expect triple-digit heat, high drama, and a low-scoring affair that could swing the wild-card fate. Amid the baseball buzz, Cincinnati sports mourns the tragic loss of Bengals legend Rudi Johnson, who died by suicide at 45 on Tuesday, per police reports. The fourth-round pick (2001) became a Pro Bowl powerhouse, holding the franchise single-season rushing record (1,458 yards in 2005) and ranking fourth all-time with 5,742 yards. Teammates like Carson Palmer hailed his "joyful presence," while Chad Johnson tweeted a heartfelt tribute. Bengals president Mike Brown called him a "dear friend" and "excellent running back." Johnson's foundation aided local causes, leaving a legacy beyond the field. RIP, Rudy—your spirit endures. Music from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/ Track Name Holy (Trap).

NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Bros. The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped their tenth game in the last eleven, falling 4–1 to the Chicago Cubs. Paul Skenes struggled with command, giving up three runs in the first inning and never finding his usual sharpness. Despite a brief spark from an early Oneil Cruz triple, the offense managed just four hits and struck out twelve times. Jim and Tyler break down the rough night, from Skenes' rare off-outing to the ongoing offensive collapse and what it means for the final stretch of the season. They also discuss Rafael Flores' call-up, the stagnant lineup, and the frustration of watching a talented pitching staff get no support.

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. Greg reflected on the season from Paul Skenes as he enters his final home start of the season. Greg said it's already hard to tell if there is another pitcher in Pirates history more dominant than Skenes. Greg said the division crown is still a goal, but it only takes the team being a little better than average to be in a playoff spot. Greg said it takes a legitimate starting SS and/or 3B to feel serious about next season. Greg talked about the decision by Don Kelly to sit Oneil Cruz and how frustrating the second half of the season has been for Cruz. The guys asked Greg about the idea of Cruz changing his position yet again in the offseason. Poni had Greg answer questions all around the diamond for the 2026 Buccos.

The NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Bros breaks down the Pirates' 4–3 loss to the Nationals—a game that started with a three-run first and then a long, quiet stretch from the offense. We dig into Oneil Cruz's focus and base running lapse (despite some good swings), Bryan Reynolds' effort on a key ball in play, and why accountability and fundamentals remain glaring issues under Don Kelly vs. the Derek Shelton era. On the bright side, Mike Burrows' changeup and early dominance were encouraging, Justin Lawrence looked solid in his first action since an early-season injury, and the bullpen/rotation picture shows signs of promise—even as the Pirates drop the series and fall 20 games under .500.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to analyze the future of Henry Davis and other young players with the Pirates. Is Henry Davis still a viable candidate to be the club's catcher of the future? Or are his struggles at the plate to profound to overcome in his time share with Joey Bart? Will any of Nick Yorke, Cam Devanney, Liover Peguero or Ji-Hwan Bae appear on the opening day roster next season? What should GM Ben Cherington and manager Don Kelly do with Oneil Cruz amid his continued underachievement? Where should Cherington be planning to allocate his free agent dollars for 2026? And where do names like Denis Santana, Braxton Ashcraft and Bubba Chandler fit into the future bullpen mix? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

NS9 Postgame Show Powered by Primanti's. The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped another heartbreaker in Baltimore, losing 2–1 on a walk-off despite a dominant five-inning, eight-strikeout outing from Paul Skenes. Spencer Horwitz provided the lone offensive spark with a solo homer, but the lineup managed only two hits all night as Oneil Cruz, Henry Davis, and the rest of the bats continued to struggle. On this NS9 Postgame Show powered by Primanti Bros, Tyler and Doug break down the wasted pitching performance, vent their frustration with Ben Cherington's stalled rebuild, and discuss why this offense still can't find a way to score four runs.

The Pirates had five guys hitting under .200 in their lineup Wednesday. Henry Davis is hitting .161 this season. Gerrit Cole hit better during his Bucs career than Davis. Paul Skenes has made 24 starters in his career where he's allowed two runs or less and has lost or had a no decision. What do you do with Oneil Cruz and his slump?

On his weekly mailbag podcast, Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles answers reader questions. Among them: How should the front office manage the Oneil Cruz situation heading into next season, with major questions looming over his ability to become a true MLB star? Is GM Ben Cherington's job secure if this team is able to finish close to the .500 mark under manager Don Kelly? Was moving Bubba Chandler into the starting rotation next to Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller a wise idea? How much should Braxton Ashcraft's workload be managed moving forward? And if the Pirates can only keep one of Andrew McCutchen or Tommy Pham for 2026, which one should they choose?

The Pirates just got swept by the Brewers, and all eyes are on Oneil Cruz. The Bucs' shortstop has been in a prolonged slump for months, and the struggles are starting to raise big questions about his future as the team's cornerstone. We break down what's gone wrong with Cruz at the plate, whether it's fixable, and what it means for the Pirates moving forward. We also recap a tough series in Milwaukee that saw Bubba Chandler shelled in his first MLB start, plus we're joined by Anthony Murphy from Bucs on Deck to talk about Greensboro and Altoona heading into the postseason and which prospects could make an impact soon. Finally, we look ahead to the upcoming series against the Baltimore Orioles and what the Pirates need to bounce back. ☕ Bucco Brew is powered by De Fer Coffee & Tea.

The Pirates hammered the Red Sox, 10–3, at Fenway—Pittsburgh's second straight win in Boston to clinch the series. The 10 runs tied the most the Red Sox have allowed at Fenway this season. Pittsburgh trailed, took the lead, gave it back, then rallied again, scoring in multiple innings. Team totals: 12 hits, 7 walks, 9 strikeouts; every Pirate recorded a hit, and five players had an RBI. On the mound, Johan Oviedo worked 5.0 innings (3 H, 3 BB, 6 K, 2 ER). The bullpen held it down afterward. We noted managing workloads down the stretch—as we saw Mike Burrows pitch 2 in relief today, while Braxton Ashcraft remains in the rotation and Bubba Chandler could be an option. At the plate, Oneil Cruz homered for the 19th time this seaosn.. Multi-hit nights included Andrew McCutchen (10 hits in his last 8 games) and Nick Gonzales, and Spencer Horwitz. Jared Triolo reached four times via hit, walk, HBP, and error. Series finale is tomorrow, with a chance to sweep. NS9 Postgame Show is Powered by Primanti Bros.

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles gives his insight on which prospects may be promoted next after top pitching prospect Bubba Chandler made his MLB debut over the weekend. Offensively, could we see Nick Yorke and Cam Devanney make their way to Pittsburgh soon? Especially with injuries to players like Oneil Cruz limiting manager Don Kelly and GM Ben Cherington's offense with the lineup? And on the pitching side, do Hunter Barco and Eddy Yean make the most sense? Especially in relief roles between now and the end of the season? Noah tackles those questions and more.

Cory Phillips and Craig Sandlin discuss the Pittsburgh Pirates defeating the Cincinnati Reds 3-2 in a thrilling NL Central clash at PNC Park. The game featured strong pitching and a late Pirates rally that decided the outcome.The Reds took an early 1-0 lead in the second when Gavin Lux scored on a double play.

The Pirates capitalized on their five hits, with Reynolds' triple proving decisive.The loss underscored Cincinnati's struggles in tight games, while Pittsburgh's timely hitting and bullpen work secured the victory, highlighting the intensity of this divisional rivalry.

The 4th of July has passed, but there will be some fireworks in Atlanta in just a few days as one of the most electrifying events in baseball takes center stage. The Home Run Derby. A stacked field will arrive at Truist Park ready to put on a show. The eight contestants consist of Cal Raleigh, James Wood, Junior Caminero, Byron Buxton, Brent Rooker, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Oneil Cruz and Ronald Acuña Jr. Jake and Jordan have been bursting with excitement for this year's Derby, and now they break down the field and ultimately pick a winner. While those home run hitters are preparing to show off their power, the next great home run hitters might be waiting to hear their names called as the MLB Draft is just a couple of days away. The Washington Nationals have the number one pick, and coming off of a recent franchise overhaul, with the firing of their long-time GM and manager, they hope to take someone who will help carry them into the future. Jake and Jordan discuss this and chat about names to look out for in the 2025 MLB Draft. MLB has announced its top-20 highest selling jerseys, and to no one's surprise, Shohei Ohtani is at the top of that list.
