Anthony Franco joins Darragh McDonald to discuss what the Red Sox will do in light of Alex Bregman's quad injury, including top prospect Marcelo Mayer getting called up, whether Rafael Devers will get any time a third base, if Trevor Story will lose playing time to due to his struggles, and how the team could make room for Roman Anthony. They also get into some Pirates topics including Jared Jones getting UCL surgery, whether the team should trade Paul Skenes, and what other trade chips they could move at the deadline. Listener question topics include whether the Orioles should trade Felix Bautista, if Kyle Tucker would be a good fit for the Giants this offseason, how seriously to take the Cardinals, the chances of the Cubs trading Kevin Alcantara, and what has led to the Dodgers having 14 pitchers simultaneously on the injured list. 

Helluva comeback last night for the Buccos, beating the Diamondbacks 9-6 after facing a 6-0 deficit after the 4th. A monster night for Bryan Reynolds, 4-4 with a 3-run HR to give the Pirates the lead. Paul Skenes gets the ball today as the Pirates try to take the series in Arizona. Poni highlighted the maturity of Skenes and how it really does feel like the guy wants to win here. We heard some audio from Skenes. Poni wants to see Skenes become AJ Burnett – or have a similar attitude to bring to the Pirates. More thoughts as to what a Paul Skenes trade could look like from another big MLB insider. Where do some of these prospects rank among MLB's Top 100? Bucco Minute – What does the Pirates lineup look like as they try to take the series in Arizona?

Leading off, as always, is "Sinkers and Floaters on the hot and not in the world. In the two spot is the "TCF Sports Minute," covering updates on the Chicago sports teams. Following that in the thee spot is an "NBA Playoff Update." In the four hole is a full "NHL Playoff Update." In the five spot is a brand new "Team Builder." Wrapping things up, in the six spot as always, is the "TCF Top 3" and this week is the boys favorite "80's Rock Bands."

Bubba Chandler could have realistically made the Opening Day roster like Jared Jones or Paul Skenes in early May. The George Pickens situation Dan Graziano said on ESPN Radio that if you gave the Steelers truth serum, he doesn't think the Steelers liked the quarterbacks who were available.

Are we paying enough attention to Bubba Chandler? He's the No. 2 prospect in baseball and we're barely talking about him. The hype around Paul Skenes, trade talk with Skenes, Jared Jones' injury, the Pirates offense, off the field news, and other stuff has focused our attention in so many places. We also think Aaron Rodgers SHOULD be here in two weeks, but he realistically SHOULD be here now.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson react to the answer Pirates' SP Paul Skenes gave to a question about whether or not he likes playing for the Pirates.

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. Greg shouted out Hannah Mears and the job she did on the coverage of Braxton Ashcraft last night when he made his debut. How has this team been different under Don Kelly so far? Greg reacted to the Pirates being shut out for the ninth time already this season. Will the Pirates ever get power out of Ke'Bryan Hayes? Greg brought up a few guys that have disappointed at the plate this season. Greg highlighted the play of Oneil Cruz, both at the plate and in the field. The guys brought up the old idea of Paul Skenes hitting if this offense continues to struggle. Greg talked about the lineup and how it has had more consistency. Intern Dom went at Pomp yesterday after being trapped by Joe in a conversation about golf. What do prices look like for the Steelers home schedule? Donny Football Debrief – Phil Robertson, of Duck Dynasty fame, passed away over the weekend. He once started over Terry Bradshaw at Louisiana Tech.

With Ronald Acuña Jr. back in action, the Atlanta Braves are hoping they are primed to finally take off in 2025. Grant McAuley discusses a busy yet disappointing week for the club, which despite getting both Acuña and Spencer Strider back, was handed back-to-back series losses by the Washington Nationals and San Diego Padres. We'll dive into the trends and stories behind the performance of the team and what areas need to improve to help Atlanta regain momentum. Special guest Brandon Gaudin of FanDuel Sports Network stops by to chat about the Braves at the Memorial Day checkpoint, the return of Acuña, the trajectory of the club and much more. You'll also hear from Atlanta general manager Alex Anthopoulos on the struggles of closer Raisel Iglesias and others from his recent appearance on 92-9 The Game's "Steakhouse." We take a trip around the big leagues to discuss the historically bad Colorado Rockies, the Juan Soto drama for the New York Mets, the trade rumors swirling around Pittsburgh Pirates star pitcher Paul Skenes and other big headlines from the week that was in Major League Baseball. From The Diamond airs live on 92-9 The Game in Atlanta on Sundays throughout baseball season. You can also subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

Join Bryan Hayes, Jeff O'Neill, and Jamie McLennan for Hour 3 of OverDrive! TSN Hockey Insider Chris Johnston joined the show to discuss Mitch Marner's future in Toronto, Brad Treliving speaking with the media this week, and what's next for Toronto without Brendan Shanahan. The guys then discuss how the Leafs could go about replacing Marner and why things should look as different as possible. TSN Baseball Insider Steve Phillips joined the show to discuss the Blue Jays middling around .500, whether Shohei Ohtani should pitch for the Dodgers, and if the Pirates should trade Paul Skenes. Hayes gave his best bets ahead of game four in Florida.

TSN Baseball Insider on the Blue Jays middling around .500, the rarity of Jacob deGrom's outing against the Jays on Monday, whether Shohei Ohtani should pitch for the Dodgers, the Rockies historically bad start, and whether or not the Pirates should trade Paul Skenes.

Dylan Campione & Nicho Fernandez go around the league discussing all the latest hot topics. Is Tarik Skubal the best pitcher in the league? Is Aaron Judge the best right handed hitter of all time? Should the Pirates trade Paul Skenes? All that and more in today's 30 minutes! 

Post-Gazette Pirates insider Colin Beazley previews the team's upcoming three-game series at Chase Field in Arizona. Can the Pirates capitalize on a playoff-caliber team that has lost five in a row and has a struggling bullpen? Will Andrew Heaney and Paul Skenes be able to stifle a top-hitting team? And can Mike Burrows and potentially Braxton Ashcraft help reset a tired Pirates bullpen? Colin tackles those questions and more.

Hour 3: Joe and Dom get into a heated debate over whether the Pirates should trade Paul Skenes. Dom wants NHL broadcasts to bring back the glow puck. And Joe wasn't invited to any Memorial Day BBQs this year.

Hour 2: Is it time for the Pirates to give Oneil Cruz an extension? Joe really loves the Wrangler commercial jingle. And did Joe take away all of Dom's credibility?

Dom DiTommaso back in for the Early Morning Show! Is now the time for the Pirates to extend Oneil Cruz? Around the Horn aired its final show this weekend. And Dom hates Memorial Day BBQs.

Rob and Kelvin tell us if the New York Knicks have the mental fortitude to bounce back after blowing Game 1 and win this series against the Indiana Pacers, explain why the Pittsburgh Pirates absolutely cannot trade ace pitcher Paul Skenes, and take a trip out to Shekel City for Rob’s nightly bets. Plus, ‘The Dime’ podcast host Josh Rodriguez swings by to discuss the Knicks collective headspace, why New Yorkers continue to celebrate every postseason victory, what makes Tyrese Haliburton such a dangerous opponent, and much more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hour 1 with Joe Starkey: Henry Davis needs to play more for the Pirates. Is it Don Kelly's choice? What could the Pirates command in a Paul Skenes trade? Joe thinks if the Pirates received a Juan Soto-return with two All-Stars and a No. 2 starter, the Pirates should do it. Austin wants even more. Ken Rosenthal thinks the Pirates would have to get more than the Juan Soto deal, and not by a little.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Joe and Bob are excited about Spencer Horwitz and he has had a good first week with the team. Horwitz hit his first home run on Thursday and Bob thinks the situation would be better for the team if he played earlier this season. Bob thinks Henry Davis could still become a good player. When will Aaron Rodgers get here? Will Paul Skenes get the win tonight against Milwaukee?

When will Aaron Rodgers get here? Will Paul Skenes get the win tonight against Milwaukee? Broderick Jones playing left tackle is something we need to see him succeed in. Pirates predictions against the Milwaukee Brewers.

Where do the Steelers and Art Rooney slot in owners willing to do what it takes to win? Mike Jones of The Athletic has the Steelers stuck in struggle mode with the Falcons, Browns, Cowboys, Giants, Jets, and Titans. Ben Cherington quickly shut down any talk that the Pirates will trade Paul Skenes now.

Joe goes off on Kyle Dubas for putting together a Team Canada World Championship team that lost to Denmark. We want to see Henry Davis get more at-bats. What could the Pirates command in a Paul Skenes trade? Joe thinks if the Pirates received a Juan Soto-return with two All-Stars and a No. 2 starter, the Pirates should do it. Austin wants even more.

In today's Buy or Sell, Bill answers if the runaway MVP voting was correct, if the Thunder are closing in on becoming a top 10 team of all-time, if the Eagles are a top 5 team in NFL history, if trading Paul Skenes is in the best interest for the Pirates, if the Rockies are a black eye for baseball, if the beach is the best Memorial Day Weekend activity and if a cheeseburger if is the best barbeque option.

Is Kenny Pickett going to start for the Browns? Will he get boo'd by fans at Acrisure Stadium when the Browns play here in Week 6? We asked why people hate playing the win/loss game when the schedule comes out. Somehow, Ben Roethlisberger thinks Kenny will get cheered if he plays against the Steelers in Pittsburgh. We think that is ludicrous. Calls on Paul Skenes, Kenny Pickett and Aaron Rodgers. Donny Football Debrief – Boise State's AD took offense to the change with the College Football Playoff.

The Dodgers have a big series in New York against the Mets this weekend. A potential Paul Skenes trade is officially dead. Rich Paul says he's not sure if Lebron will retire this offseason. Fred gives an example that shows that you can bet on pretty much anything under the sun these days.

Munaf Manji and Griffin Warner talk MLB betting for Friday and this weekend. The guys cover the entire card and give out best bets. The MLB Friday betting podcast hosted by Manaf Manji and Griffin Warner covered an extensive analysis of all 16 matchups. Manaf opened by highlighting the full Friday slate, including a doubleheader between the Orioles and Red Sox. Griffin immediately addressed frustrations with umpiring and pitch clock enforcement, using Yoán Moncada's controversial strikeout as an example. For Game 1 of the doubleheader, Povich (Orioles) and Baio (Red Sox) were both criticized, with both hosts favoring the over due to poor pitching. Povich's 5.28 ERA vs. Boston and Baio's recent seven-run outing made betting the over a logical play. In Cubs vs. Reds, Griffin noted Hunter Greene's return from injury as a risk, while Manaf praised Boyd's consistency and strikeouts, leaning toward the Cubs. Brewers vs. Pirates saw Freddie Peralta favored despite Pittsburgh's Paul Skenes' talent, due to a lack of run support. Both suggested under 7 as a good play. For Giants vs. Nationals, McKenzie Gore's strikeout success and the Giants' bullpen issues led to a lean toward the Nationals, especially in the first five innings. Blue Jays vs. Rays featured skepticism toward both bullpens. Despite Rasmussen's 3.00 ERA vs. Toronto, his 1-4 record and poor run support made the Jays an attractive underdog. Dodgers vs. Mets focused on Clayton Kershaw's weak return and Canning's strong 5-1 record with a 2.47 ERA. The Mets, 8-1 in Canning's starts, were backed heavily. In Guardians vs. Tigers, Jackson Jobe's 4-0 record and Detroit's 8-0 team mark in his starts made them the clear pick. Pablo Lopez vs. Royals saw under 7.5 suggested, with Lopez's home starts hitting the over but mainly due to weak opponents. In Braves vs. Padres, Chris Sale's 15-2 home mark with Atlanta was compelling, but concerns over the Padres' offensive slump and pitching made Griffin hesitant. The Rangers, with a 35-15-1 under record and the worst AL offense, were labeled an overvalued -180 favorite vs. the White Sox. Burke's wildness (13 walks in 3 starts) and Texas' high swing rate set up a potential upset. Mariners vs. Astros examined Emerson Hancock's inconsistency and the Astros' injury woes. Both leaned Mariners at plus money. Phillies vs. A's spotlighted Sacramento's hitter-friendly park. Despite Wheeler's average road form, Philadelphia's offense was favored to overwhelm. Yankees vs. Rockies centered on the 12.5 total at Coors, suggesting Yankees' team total overs. Marlins vs. Angels featured heavy criticism of Sandy Alcantara's 7.99 ERA. Kikuchi, despite inconsistencies, was backed due to the Angels' offensive momentum. Cardinals were recommended over Arizona due to Gallen's 5.14 ERA and recent struggles, while Mikolas had been reliable. For best bets, Griffin took the Angels at -143, fading Alcantara. Manaf backed the Mets over Kershaw, citing Canning's stellar form and New York's offensive edge. They concluded with a promo for Griffin's picks and encouraged listeners to take advantage of the B.A.T.20 discount at pregame.com. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

(0:00) Zolak and Bertrand start off the show by reacting to the Red Sox loss and Garrett Crochet. (13:01) We continue our conversation on last night’s game and Alex Cora’s decisions with the bullpen and Trevor Story. (25:33) The guys touch on potential trade options for the Red Sox and Paul Skenes. (34:58) The guys finish the hour reacting to the news of Colts Owner Jim Irsay passing away.

The Post-Gazette's Adam Bittner and Jason Mackey react to a busy week of Pittsburgh sports news. Should OTAs be a red line for Steelers GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin in their pursuit of QB Aaron Rodgers? How important is the offseason program to his success, given that it didn't seem to matter much for Russell Wilson and Justin Fields? And how much worse off would the Steelers be with Mason Rudolph as their starter instead? Is the national media bashing he's received fair? Our duo tackles those questions; the difference between George Pickens and DK Metcalf as WR1; and the team's biggest remaining weakness after adding Derrick Harmon and Kaleb Johnson in the NFL draft. Later, the guys discuss the Penguins coaching search. Why does Mitch Love continue to make a lot of sense as a frontrunner? How much say should Sidney Crosby have in the hiring process? And how cool is it to watch Crosby and Marc-Andre Fleury play together one last time at the IIHF world championships? Then in the third segment, airing on the PG's Pirates YouTube channel, our duo ponders Ben Cherington's options as the season continues to slip away. Is there a trade he can make to salvage his job? Is that a move he should be allowed to make, given his track record? Would firing him have a bigger practical or psychological impact? And what should we make of the Paul Skenes trade chatter, initiated this past week by ESPN's Jeff Passan? Adam and Jason give their thoughts, then analyze the catching situation with Henry Davis and Joey Bart. And Alexander Canario's recent hot streak.

Neil Walker joins the show to break down the Pirates' recent managerial change and what fans can expect from Don Kelly as he steps into the role. We dive into clubhouse dynamics, the importance of leadership, and why trading Paul Skenes is a ridiculous conversation. Neil also shares a personal story about Donnie Kelly's early days dating his sister and reflects on the challenges the Pirates face both on the field and in building a sustainable core. If you're a Pirates fan looking for insight, perspective, and a little behind-the-scenes storytelling, this one's for you.

What if the Pirates DID trade Paul Skenes? An AL team executive threw out a massive haul the Pirates could bring in if they called teams offering Skenes. But do you trust Ben Cherington to get it done? The guys are skeptical.

PG columnist Jason Mackey joined the show. Jason said his eyes were opened a bit to the idea of trading Paul Skenes based on what some American League executives told top baseball insiders. However, Jason doesn't think there is any chance the proposed trade would happen. How would the Pirates sell it to their fans? Jason hyped up the pitching they already have and can't stand what little they have done about their offense. Jason isn't confident the next offseason is run by Ben Cherington, if he even makes it through this 162. He thinks there's a chance Cherington is gone by the trade deadline.
