Pirates Offense Vanishes in 8-0 Loss to Phillies

BREAKING: Pirates Trade No. 34 Pick in Surprise Deal With White Sox

The Pirates shocked everyone the night before the 2026 MLB Draft, trading the No. 34 overall pick and left-handed pitching prospect Jaden Woods to the Chicago White Sox for infielder Jacob Gonzalez and left-handed reliever Brandon Eisert. On this emergency episode, we break down what Pittsburgh is getting, what it gave up, how Gonzalez fits into the infield, whether Eisert can help the bullpen and what losing the No. 34 pick means for the Pirates’ draft strategy. Did Ben Cherington make a smart aggressive move, or did the Pirates surrender too much value?

Why Mitch Keller Can’t Get Left-Handed Hitters Out

Mitch Keller lasted just three innings against the Atlanta Braves as his season-long struggles against left-handed hitters continued. Alex Stumpf examines Keller’s extreme platoon splits, the mechanical issues potentially affecting his arsenal and why neither the cutter nor changeup has provided a reliable answer. Can Keller make the necessary adjustments during the All-Star break, or has his decline become another major problem for the Pirates’ pitching staff?

Is It Time to Panic, Pirates fans?

The Pirates have another major injury to deal with after Konnor Griffin is expected to miss about two months. Does that change Pittsburgh's trade deadline plans and force Ben Cherington to target a shortstop? Plus, the bullpen continues to implode while Carmen Mlodzinski remains underutilized, and Mitch Keller turns in another rough outing. Is this just a slump, or has something fundamentally changed? Jim, Tyler, and DiNardo break it all down on another episode of NS9LIVE!

Pirates Pitching Implodes Again in 10-5 Loss to Braves

The Pittsburgh Pirates fell 10 to 5 to the Atlanta Braves, and Cody and Doug had plenty to say about it. Mitch Keller lasted just three innings, the bullpen once again failed to keep the game within reach, and the frustration around the pitching staff continues to grow. On the positive side, Jake Mangum had a huge day at the plate, Bryan Reynolds and Esmerlyn Valdez went back to back, and the offense continued to show fight. But with the Pirates getting real production from the lineup, the question becomes even louder: how much longer can they afford to let the pitching staff drag them down?

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.
