Episode Notes

Jose Negron joined NS9 live from the Winter Meetings to break down the Pirates’ offseason priorities, from the likelihood of a multi-year deal to how aggressive they’ll get on bats like Polanco, O’Hearn, or even bigger names via trade. He also weighed in on bullpen roles, rotation depth concerns after the Oviedo move, and what “execution” really has to look like for this offseason to be considered a turning point.
