Tonight on The Point, we've got a loaded panel and three debates that cut straight to the core of where the Pittsburgh Pirates — and baseball — are headed. Joining the panel: Jose Negron of DK Pittsburgh Sports, Dominic Campbell from Pirates On SI, Nutzy Poo (MLB The Show streamer), and our very own Doug. With PiratesFest just a week away, we kick things off by asking the question fans are already debating: will Andrew McCutchen be part of it — and should he still be a Pirate in 2026? Then we zoom out to the big picture. After the Los Angeles Dodgers handed Kyle Tucker a massive $240M deal, is MLB officially at a breaking point — and is it finally time to talk salary cap? And finally, with the New York Mets landing Bo Bichette, do the Mets suddenly make sense as a trade partner to solve the Pirates' hole at third base? Strong opinions. No fence-sitting. Let's debate.

The NFL salary cap is crap! If you don't know that by now, we don't know what to tell you: if an NFL team says they're making a move for "cap reasons," it's a lie. However, of *course* the money matters! But it's all in the guarantees!!! On today's show, we're sifting through the NFL contracts and coming up with skill-position players we think could get the axe this offseason because they are due to make "too much" in real actual salary. Let's go through a bunch of names! Plus, let's talk about the NFL coaching vacancies! Guest: Ben Gretch of the Stealing Signals Newsletter.

Hour 2 in full
This week on the podcast - a bizarre ending to a high school football game, the soon to be expired Collective Bargaining Agreement has baseball fans scrambling to learn about salary caps, and we open another set of baseball cards.Errata: Greg Maddux finished his career with 355 wins. The pitchers named plus Warren Spahn and Kid Nichols had more. Tom Prince's "short career" lasted 17 manor league seasons, but Prince only played in 579 games. He managed in one game for the Pirates in 2019. Steve Lyons once famously slid into first base and to remove the dirt started removing his pants, until he remembered people were watching. Craig was thinking of Greg Harris, for some reason, of which there were two of which one (Greg A. Harris) was ambidextrous. Harris pitched both left and right handed in one game in 1995.
