North Shore Nine

The North Shore Nine crew sat down with Post-Gazette beat writer Jason Mackey live from the Winter Meetings for a wide-ranging AMA that hit every corner of a chaotic day in Pirates news. Mackey broke down the organization losing pitching director Jeremy Bleich, the fallout from dropping to fifth in the draft lottery, and why the Schwarber offer was both real and significant. He also shared insight on potential moves, free-agent fits, Paul Skenes’ behind-the-scenes involvement, and the growing league-wide perception that the Pirates are finally acting serious.
