The 2025 MLB Trade Deadline might go down as the lowest point of Ben Cherington’s tenure as Pirates GM—and we documented every painful second of it in our live countdown show. From the David Bednar disaster to the baffling Bailey Falter giveaway, the NS9 crew reacted in real-time to each confounding move (and non-move) the Pirates made. Rants were had. Laptops were almost thrown. Therapy sessions commenced. And while the rest of baseball loaded up for October, Pittsburgh tore it all down for a few lottery tickets and a 28-year-old reliever with walk issues.

If you’re angry, confused, or just need to feel seen as a Pirates fan, you need to watch this show. This one wasn’t just about trades—it was about another opportunity wasted, and a fanbase that deserves better.
