Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pirates Impressions
Q: Would you sacrifice a season of Major League Baseball to get a salary cap system that would more evenly distribute the resources?
Yes, absolutely. Knowing that you could come out on the other side with a salary cap system, I would definitely say yes now.
The Consistently Inconsistent Pittsburgh Pirates
Q: What do you think the Pirates need to prioritize in terms of trades?
Ethan suggests they should focus on getting an outfielder and a relief pitcher to strengthen their lineup.
The Pirates Pace Of Play and A Walk Down Memory Lane
Q: What were your thoughts kind of going into this Pirates season?
I had projected them at 82 or 83 wins. I thought it was a better team than last year.
The Pirates Trade Show
Q: Is there anybody else on the team that you think would make a good trade partner for the Pirates?
Yeah, Tanner Scott is likely to be traded due to his impending free agency, making him valuable to teams needing high leverage, lefty relief help.
The Pirates Trade Show
Q: With Chris Getz coming in and everything, are the White Sox still sellers?
Yes, the White Sox are willing to move anything that they have, but the decision on players like Luis Robert will depend on their long-term strategy and potential offers.
