The Pirates beat the Tigers 8–5 and we're giving away Primanti Bros sandwiches! Tyler and Doug break down a rare back-to-back win, Mitch Keller's league-leading 15th quality start, and a surprising offensive explosion featuring eight doubles. We also highlight a signature hustle play by Oneil Cruz that stole a run — and the spotlight. Plus: • David Bednar's dominance continues • Spencer Horwitz is on fire • The Tigers get Pirate-y • Caleb Ferguson struggles, Matson bounces back • Doug's eternal life secrets revealed (sort of)

North Shore Nine Postgame Show Powered by Primanti Brothers. The Pirates return from the All-Star break with… that performance. Tyler and Doug break down the brutal 10-1 loss to the White Sox—aka the second-worst team in baseball—on a night where Bailey Falter faltered, the offense was lifeless, and Joey Bart couldn't catch a break (or a strike). We vent about the total lack of energy, question the Pirates' catcher situation, and give a well-earned tip of the cap to Isaac Mattson for showing actual heart. We also touch on Oneil Cruz's solid night, IKF doing IKF things, and how many more days of this roster we really have left before the trade deadline changes everything.

The All-Star break gave Pirates fans a lot to chew on — from Oneil Cruz's 513-foot bomb in the Home Run Derby to Paul Skenes dominating the first inning of the Midsummer Classic. Cruz tied for first in the opening round before falling in the semis, while Skenes went 1-2-3 with two strikeouts in a perfect debut on the national stage. We also break down the new Home Run Derby swing-off format and whether MLB should expand it beyond the All-Star Game. But the break wasn't just about spectacle — it also marked the beginning of trade season. The first domino has officially fallen, with Adam Frazier being dealt to the Royals in exchange for Triple-A shortstop Cam Devanney. Could this signal more moves to come? We also dive into the Pirates' 2025 MLB Draft haul, headlined by high-upside righty Seth Hernandez at No. 6 overall. We cover key Day 1 picks like Angel Cervantes and Murf Gray, plus some of our favorite Day 2 names. Does this class reflect a shift in draft strategy, and how do these players fit into the system? Finally, we preview the upcoming White Sox series as the Pirates return to action and gear up for what could be a pivotal few weeks before the trade deadline.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to the hot topics in Pittsburgh sports this week. Should Steelers GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin make an exception to their rule of not negotiating contracts with players during training camp and into the season when it comes to T.J. Watt? Or should they stick to their guns as he reportedly seeks a contract that would take him to his age 36 season? Is there still time to trade him? And would that defeat the purpose of signing veterans like Aaron Rodgers and trading for names like DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith? And are there any lessons we can learn from the Le'Veon Bell contract holdout close to a decade ago? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks some hockey. What should we make of Penguins GM Kyle Dubas' moves so far this NHL offseason? Does the deal for goalie Arturs Silovs signal big moves coming with Tristan Jarry and/or Erik Karlsson? Should the team tank for a chance to draft Gavin McKenna? Or give Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang a chance for one more Stanley Cup run together? And what should we make of reports that Mario Lemieux and Ron Burkle are looking to re-assume ownership of the club? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Then in the third segment, airing on the PG's Pirates YouTube channel, the guys tackle the hot topics surrounding the club this week. Should GM Ben Cherington be allowed to trade big names like Mitch Keller, Bryan Reynolds and Ke'Bryan Hayes while his future is in question? Or should Bob Nutting limit his options for deals to players on expiring contracts like Tommy Pham, Andrew Heaney and Isiah Kiner-Falefa? What should we make of Reynolds' continued struggles? Was Seth Hernandez a good top pick in the MLB draft? Where does Oneil Cruz go from here after his MLB Home Run Derby performance? And how seriously should we take Konnor Griffin as a prospect?

Donny's wedding is the talk of Pittsburgh. Josh Rowntree will officiate? Bengals first rounder Shemar Stewart has gone back to Texas A&M to work out with the team with his contract not signed. Oneil Cruz has a chance to be a 30/30 guy and is getting paid pre-arb money.

Noah gives it a 10% chance for Oneil Cruz and 1% chance for Paul Skenes to sign a long-term extension. Noah thinks both sides are wondering with Cruz if his full potential will be reached. He doesn't think Skenes will demand a trade, the Pirates will likely move him regardless. If they start winning, the conversation around Skenes changes. % chance players are dealt.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Noah Hiles gives it a 10% chance for Oneil Cruz and 1% chance for Paul Skenes to sign a long-term extension. % chance players are dealt. Mark Kaboly said T.J. Watt wants five years, four years guaranteed, and to be the highest-paid edge rusher. Mark said that's the starting point, before the Steelers meet in the middle. The disconnect is being paid more than Garrett and the Steelers are going to point to Watt being 15 months older.

The Pirates have traded Adam Frazier to kickstart the trade deadline moves. They are sending Frazier back to the Kansas City Royals in exchange for Cam Devanney, who is 28 and has yet to make his MLB debut despite good power numbers in AAA this season. They got something for Frazier and that's probably better than what we could have expected. Has the outline for this team ever looked worse? We looked at some comparisons between this team and the 2010 Pirates, a squad that lost 105 games. Who are the other players that will be on the move? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Poni questioned Jeff for saying the Pirates should make Oneil Cruz the highest-paid player in their history. Jeff said it's all about Paul Skenes and the finite amount of time they have to win with him here. Jeff said he's willing to bet on the potential of Cruz and that's why he'd give him $22M/year. Jeff pleaded that at some point the Pirates need to take a chance. Would the Pirates go out in free agency and sign a player like Cruz while they still have Skenes? Judge Donny.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. He gives his thoughts on a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter that the number of years in his next contract has become the sticking point in contract negotiations with T.J. Watt. Should GM Omar Khan and Mike Tomlin give into the demands of a player who will turn 31 this season? Or hold firm and not commit to him for too long on a defense that already includes older players such as Cam Heyward, Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay Jr.? Paul offers his thoughts on those questions, then tackles MLB All-Star week in Atlanta. What should we make of Oneil Cruz's second-round exit in the Home Run Derby on Monday night? And what can we expect from Paul Skenes as he start the game on the mound for the National League for the second year in a row?

We mock Jazz Chisolm's decision to participate in the Home Run Derby, Oneil Cruz's origin story, we dive into another edition of "Guys Naming Dudes", the 2004 Colorado Rockies, a dunk in the NBA Summer League, how far 513 feet is at The Chuck, how many Rays you can name, Matt's hatred for the Rams, and more.

Michael agrees with Joe that payroll isn't indicative to wins and losses, but it definitely helps. Coaching and development is significant. Michael points to Milwaukee and how they operate with payroll and development to win. He still believes Oneil Cruz will be a great player and Cruz told Michael he wants to be the best. Harry in West View calls in, but didn't mean to call in.

Oneil Cruz dazzled in the HR Derby last night, including a homer that went 513 feet. Poni is in semi-freak-out mode that people are overreacting to what Cruz did in an exhibition/glorified batting practice. He claimed he enjoyed watching Cruz put on a show even though he didn't want him to do well. Poni attacked Jeff Hathhorn for suggesting the Pirates should sign Cruz long-term after last night. The guys revisited a thought yesterday – what if Cruz has a 30 HR, 50 SB season despite otherwise lackluster numbers? The conversation turned to Bryan Reynolds and the disappointing season he is putting together. Is the idea of Oneil Cruz being the highest-paid Pirates player ever as ridiculous as it sounds? One caller suggested that teams around baseball didn't know Cruz before last night. HOCKEY TALK! Do the rumors of Mario Lemieux and co. rebuying the Penguins still have a pulse?

Brown says that Nutting believes that “something has to happen”. The next few months are very important for Reynolds and Cruz. Pirates insider Noah Hiles from the PG joined the show.

Donny Football Debrief – Jauan Jennings either wants a new contract or out of San Francisco. Would you make a move for him if you were the GM of the Steelers? Mullsy thinks Terry Mclaurin is a far better receiver than DK Metcalf. Poni doesn't want to give up assets for Mclaurin.

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.

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.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news and analyzes the Steelers' upcoming 2025 NFL regular season schedule. How good of a start does Pittsburgh need to have to secure a home playoff game with early-season contests against the Jets, Seahawks, Patriots, Vikings and Browns? What record does Mike Tomlin and company need to maintain in the AFC North against powerhouse offenses like the Ravens and Bengals? Paul breaks down the roster depth on both sides of the ball heading into training camp on July 23rd and explains why he believes DK Metcalf will be the key to Aaron Rodgers' success this year. Lastly, Paul continues his Pirates-focused deep dive into MLB All-Star Week while looking at Oneil Cruz's chances in the home run derby. He also explains why Pittsburgh and GM Ben Cherington should genuinely consider fielding trade offers for Cruz and, potentially, Paul Skenes down the road. For more sports, visit post-gazette.com.
