About this episode
Bob Nightengale says the Pirates may be willing to listen on Oneil Cruz as they search for pitching help, but Alex Stumpf argues that trading him now would make the 2026 team worse. The Pirates need multiple relievers, and the answer should be using prospect capital rather than creating another hole in center field.
