North Shore Nine

The latest episode of Bucco Brew covers a jam-packed weekend at PNC Park, where the Pirates obliterated the Mets in a three-game sweep. Jim breaks it all down solo, from the offensive breakout to Don Kelly’s savvy bullpen management. But the real heat comes from Mitch Keller trade rumors—especially reports linking him to the Cubs. Jim explains why trading Keller in-division would be a mistake and what kind of return the Pirates should demand if they move him at all. He also reacts to Ben Cherington’s recent comments about pitching depth and deadline strategy. Later in the show, Anthony Murphy from Bucs on Deck joins to evaluate Bubba Chandler’s rough stretch and highlight a few fast-rising prospects like Hunter Barco and Edward Florentino.
