Jared Jones Was Perfect. The Pirates Still Lost. Joey Bart?!

Do The Pirates Have To Trade For An Infielder Now?

Konnor Griffin’s injury has changed the conversation around the Pittsburgh Pirates trade deadline. On today’s OffBeat, Alex Stumpf looks at why shutting Griffin down was the right decision, how thin the Pirates infield depth has become, and why Jared Triolo, Nick Gonzales and Tyler Callihan may not be enough to get this team through the rest of the season. The bullpen still needs help, but the Pirates may now have another real deadline need.

Ryan O’Hearn Carries the Pirates After Konnor Griffin Injury

Ryan O’Hearn delivered one of the best single-game performances in Pittsburgh Pirates history, driving in a franchise-record 10 runs with three home runs in a massive win over the Braves. Alex Stumpf breaks down why O’Hearn’s historic night mattered even more after the Pirates learned Konnor Griffin is headed to the injured list with a left ring finger injury. With Griffin out, Oneil Cruz and Spencer Horwitz still working back, and the Pirates trying to survive a brutal stretch before the All-Star break, this was exactly the kind of win they needed. O’Hearn didn’t just carry the offense. He changed the entire feeling around the team for at least one night. Subscribe to North Shore Nine for daily Pittsburgh Pirates coverage.

What If the Pirates Bullpen Help Isn’t Coming?

The Pirates have operated under one clear assumption: stay in the race, then fix the bullpen at the trade deadline. But what if the help they need is not actually out there? On today’s OffBeat, Alex Stumpf looks at a crowded deadline market, the lack of obvious sellers, and why relievers like Aroldis Chapman, Garrett Whitlock, Luke Weaver, Félix Bautista, Jason Adam, A.J. Minter, Kirby Yates, Kyle Finnegan and others may either cost too much or simply not be realistic fits. The Pirates need external bullpen help if they want to make the postseason, but this market could make that much harder than expected.
