North Shore Nine

This episode of Starbucs from North Shore Nine dives into the Pittsburgh Pirates’ quiet offseason and reflects on the team’s 2024 highlights. Hosts Anthony DiNardo and Jim Rosati express concern over the lack of moves by GM Ben Cherington, noting that aside from the Spencer Horwitz trade and Andrew McCutchen re-signing, there’s been little activity.

They discuss standout moments from the season, including Paul Skenes’ dominant second start, McCutchen’s 300th home run, and Jared Jones’ electric pitching performances. The duo also highlights Jared Triolo‘s incredible outfield catch and Rowdy Tellez’s midseason resurgence, fueled by superfan Xander. To close, they debate which Pirate would throw the best New Year’s Eve party.
