Episode Notes

On this episode of WNS9+, we’re joined by Dallas Braden—and this isn’t just a national baseball conversation. From the Pirates’ offseason decisions and organizational direction to a deep look at the pitching staff through the eyes of a former big-league pitcher, this is an honest, thoughtful conversation about where this team stands—and where it still needs to go. What does Dallas like about the foundation being built in Pittsburgh? What concerns him? And what does he still want to see before fully buying in on this group? This is perspective from someone who’s been in the league, respects the process, and isn’t afraid to say what still matters. A must-listen for Pirates fans looking for insight beyond the usual echo chamber.
