Submit ReviewWelcome back to Locked On Pirates!
Today, host Ethan Smith discusses the rumor mill a bit, talking about Dylan Cease and the Sox's high asking price, some of Miami's young controllable pitchers potentially being available and how the Pirates could factor into both of those rumors.
Also, free agency has some decent pitching available still, so should the Pirates be done adding pitching?
Finally, Cutch is back and he wants to win. Being in a role model role, how much will that help the Pirates young players as they continue to climb the ladder?

Folks, I've been calling for this signing for the entire off-season and it happened Monday, as the Pirates signed veteran left-hander and 2022 All-Star Martin Perez, adding another veteran to the starting pitching staff.
Does this move ignite new life into the 2024 rotation? Are the Pirates done adding arms or is there more work to be done? What's the rotation look like now? We try and answer those questions today w/ Ethan Smith being joined by Gary Morgan.
Also, it appears clear that Andrew McCutchen will return for 2024, but what exactly will his role be, how much will he play and what else could we expect from him next season?

Tons of news came our way Tuesday.
The biggest came internally on the roster as young, up and coming catcher Endy Rodriguez is slated to have UCL surgery and will miss the entirety of the 2024 season. Pair that with the Johan Oviedo news we received earlier this off-season, and it may be time to evaluate the Pirates goals differently for next season.
Along with that, the Pirates made another signing, bringing in Rowdy Tellez on a major league deal. Tellez's performance in 2023 left much to be desired, but if he can rekindle some of his 2022 form, did the Pirates find a cost effective diamond in the rough?
Finally, it was announced Wednesday that the Pirates will now be apart of SportsNet Pittsburgh alongside the Pittsburgh Penguins. What does this mean moving forward and what dots need connected to fully understand the way we'll watch the Pirates short-term?

On today's episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith is joined by Gary Morgan in the continuation of the "An Eye at the Future" series.
Today is all about the second base position for the Pirates, a position that will likely have 2024 Spring Training's most heated battle for rights to be the starter. With players like Liover Peguero, Nick Gonzales, Ji-hwan Bae and Jared Triolo all viable options for the position, what does each guy offer the Pirates and who ultimately wins the starting job out of spring?
And when talking about second base, you have to talk about Termarr Johnson? Is he the be all end all at the position or will someone step up before he arrives? All of that and more on today's episode of Locked On Pirates.

Late Tuesday night, we finally got some encouraging off-season news out of Pittsburgh as they traded for LHP Marco Gonzales from the Atlanta Braves for a PTBNL and cash considerations.
Host Ethan Smith breaks down the move, why its another stab at a soft throwing lefty, why the Pirates will continue to add to the rotation and the impact Gonzales could have in 2024.
Also, the Rule 5 Draft concluded without much fuss from Pirates fans, but they did add Seth Beer. Is Beer depth in the system or could he impact the 1B spot for the Pirates in 2024?
Finally, the draft lottery was won by the Cleveland Guardians last night, with the Pirates slotting in at No. 9 overall in the 2024 Draft. Who do Jim Callis & Johnathan Mayo think the Pirates take at No. 9 in their very early top-10 mock draft?

We take a look at some of those names and why the bullpen could potentially be a strength next season.

On today's show, host Ethan Smith discusses Mitch Keller continuing to hit milestones in 2023, this time breaking the record for most strikeouts in a season by a Pirates right-handed starting pitcher. Is now the time for the Pirates to consider a long-term extension for Keller?
Also, Henry Davis has played better as of late after returning from the IL, but is right field the place for Davis to stay or should the Pirates consider moving him defensively?
Finally, Johan Oviedo has been a welcome surprise this season for the Pittsburgh Pirates and is set to make his final start of the 2023 campaign. How important is Oviedo moving forward and what should we expect from his final start?

Johan Oviedo accomplished something that is rare for the Pittsburgh Pirates and MLB. His complete game shutout of the Kansas City Royals shows why Oviedo is a big part of the Pirates future. The game also showed a weakness for the Pirates.
That weakness is the Pirates hitting approach and it is time for Andy Haines to go. The Pirates lack of success at the plate with their young hitters is also a problem when you consider the Cincinnati Reds have a team full of young players succeeding.

On today's episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith discusses the career evening from Joshua Palacios amidst a blowout victory of the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. Will the offense carry over into game two against Adam Wainwright?
Also, Johan Oviedo faces Waino tonight, and Ethan has been thinking about how important Oviedo will be for the Pirates moving forward. If Oviedo can have a strong end to his surprising 2023 campaign and workload, the off-season decisions for the Pirates could become easier in relation to the starting pitching staff.
Finally, Henry Davis went on the IL prior to yesterday's game after a right hand strain in his thumb. The injury stings, but it could be a valuable break for Davis moving forward.

Welcome to another Gary Morgan Monday edition of Locked On Pirates.
Host Ethan Smith and Gary discuss the upcoming series against the St. Louis Cardinals, a battle between the bottom two teams in the NL Central. What does this series mean for Pittsburgh? How can they take advantage of the Cardinals weak pitching staff and why is a series win so important?
Also, we've been marveling at Paul Skenes on this show since he was selected No 1 overall just about a month ago. He's made two debuts already, one in the FCL and two games in Bradenton. He's done well in his three outings thus far, but will he continue to move quickly through the system before being shut down?
Finally, as 2023 slowly comes to a close, the roster is going to be loaded heading into 2024 Spring Training, and that's before any offseason additions. Is it time to think about some young players and it being their last chance to make an impact in Pittsburgh?

It's time for another episode of Locked On Pirates and boy, is host Ethan Smith excited.
No. 1 overall selection Paul Skenes will pitch tonight at Single-A Bradenton, making his second professional appearance after a strong debut at the FCL last week that featured a strikeout vs. No. 5 overall selection Walker Jenkins. What should we expect from Skenes tonight and what's his timeline to Pittsburgh?
Also, some young players have taken us by surprise in 2023, but who has been the most surprising?
Finally, the Pirates aren't done with 2023 yet, but 2024 is on the minds of every fan as the first potential competitive year since 2019, so what do the Pirates need to add to make competing a reality rather than a dream?

On today's episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith is elated after the young Pittsburgh Pirates lit up Cy Young candidate Spencer Strider and the Atlanta Braves on Monday, winning three of their last four and potentially finding their stride. Can the Pirates take another one tonight?
Mitch Keller is tasked with leading the Pirates on the mound tonight as has struggled since his All-Star first half. Is it a bump in road? Can his cutter get back to form & could tonight be the night he gets back to his ace form?
Finally, it's August 8 and the Pirates sit at 51-61. Although its sour after the 20-8 start, the Pirates have improved considerably in multiple areas this season vs 2022, and Ethan showcases why this season hasn't been a failure.

Somehow, the Pittsburgh Pirates escaped their House of Horrors w/ a series split against the Milwaukee Brewers over the weekend, a series that saw a blowout loss and two impressive wins as well as a David Bednar blown save, so it had just about everything.
Host Ethan Smith is joined by Gary Morgan to discuss the series, which also included another phenomenal start from Johan Oviedo on Sunday, some more positive improvement from the Young Bucs and things to keep looking forward to down the stretch of the season.
Finally, Pittsburgh has a tall task of seven games this week, starting with four against the Atlanta Braves and three against NL Central rival Cincinnati. How can the tough opponents teach the young players, how will they perform and more!

On today's episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith discusses the return of Ke'Bryan Hayes to the lineup and what that means for Jared Triolo and the rest of the hitters.
Also, the Pirates lost to the Tigers but remain 6-4 over their past 10 games with some streaks of note being positives for the club. What are some of those streaks and how could they help the Pirates moving forward?
On top of all this, Pirates top prospect Termarr Johnson was recently promoted from Bradenton to Greensboro, thanks to some improvements and a hot month of July.
Finally, Pittsburgh heads to Milwaukee for their final road series against their division rivals, and with the Brewers not playing their best baseball as of late, could the Pirates have their best shot to make things interesting in the NL Central for the final two months?

On today's episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith talks about the weekend series win for the Pittsburgh Pirates over the Philadelphia Phillies, a series win that was behind the backs of the Pirates rookies and young players and birthday boy Josh Palacios. With the series win being a stepping stone, can the youth of the Pittsburgh Pirates continue to push back against the league?
Also, the month of July comes to a close today and with the Pirates off, its time to review the month. How did the Pirates perform, who were the players of the month and can the series win to end the month be the start of more good baseball ahead?
Finally, the trade deadline is Tuesday and the Pirates have only made one move so far. With veterans Rich Hill and Austin Hedges still remaining, should we expect more trades from the Pirates or will they stand pat?

On today's first episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith is joined by Gary Morgan to discuss the Pirates trade deadline strategy, one that will look very different than past years with circumstances being very different. Who gets moved and what could some realistic returns be for the Pirates assets?
Also, despite a series loss to the Angels, it felt as if we got a taste of some of the young talent pushing back against the league, and that's what the rest of 2023 should be about.

On today's episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith talks about the signing of top overall selection Paul Skenes, breaking the record for the highest slot value in MLB Draft history. Will he pitch this season, what's the future plan and how should the Pirates manage him in 2024?
Also, Bryan Reynolds inked a major extension earlier this season but has struggled since his hot start. How can Reynolds get back to his All-Star form, what adjustments can he make and fairly, is it his fault?
Finally, the minor leagues have been of the upmost importance for some time now in Pittsburgh, so who is performing well, who could make their way to the team come September and who could be the biggest riser down the stretch of the season?

The All-Star Game has come and gone for the Pittsburgh Pirates and the second half of the MLB season is about ready to kick off.
On today's episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith takes a look at Mitch Keller and David Bednar's All-Star first halves, including their best outings, honorable mentions and what to expect from both in the second half of the season.
Also, former Pirates catcher Elias Diaz took home the ASG MVP after his go-ahead HR that propelled the NL over the AL for the first time since 2012. Ethan recaps a fun ASG and takes a look at the past ten years of Pirates All-Stars.
Finally, July 11-12, 2015 will always go down as very important games in Pirates history as the Pirates won back-to-back games vs the Cardinals in walk-off fashion, propelling them to their third straight playoff appearance from 2013-2015, and Ethan hints that postseason baseball may not be all that far away.

The Pittsburgh Pirates were once in first place in the NL Central and obviously, that is no longer the case. The Pirates sit 6.5 games back of the division lead and now the room for error they once had is slowly slipping away. How do the Pirates regain their winning ways and get back into the division race?
Also, Andrew McCutchen met up with some noteworthy fans in an eight year reunion at Dodger Stadium.
Pittsburgh also has some adjustments to make if they want to start winning again, so what are those adjustments and reasonable ways to fix them?
Finally, the Pirates look to win game two against the LA Dodgers.

On today's show, host Ethan Smith brings on Craig Toth as he does every Thursday to discuss the Pirates first series win since June 11, with a chance to sweep today. Ethan and Craig also talk about the debut of Jared Triolo and his instant impact not only defensively, but with his bat.
Also, the Pirates could, and probably will, get Bryan Reynolds and Colin Holderman back this weekend vs Milwaukee. Ji-Man Choi is also on a rehab assignment alongside Holderman in Indianapolis. Will getting healthy lead to more winning baseball in the near future and why does Ethan think its of the upmost importance?
Finally, while the month of May and June have both felt like a disaster for the Pirates, they remain five games back in the sluggish NL Central. Is the division still up for grabs and who will the contenders for the division be down the second half of the season?

On today's episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith discusses the Tuesday night victory for the Pittsburgh Pirates that saw the offensive explosion we have all been waiting for as the Pirates had 16 hits and 9 runs against a loaded San Diego Padres squad(on paper), with 4 of the 16 hits coming from Nick Gonzales and Henry Davis. Are the young duo the spark the Pirates needed?
Also, amidst this brutal stretch of June, one thing hasn't been lost by the Pittsburgh Pirates, and that's their starting pitching, which has kept this team from complete implosion and an outside chance of remaining competitive in the NL Central. Can they continue to do so and will the offense continue to give them run support after Tuesday?
Finally, we're in for a good pitching matchup Wednesday as Mitch Keller takes the hill against Blake Snell as part of a game two preview.

The Pittsburgh Pirates lost another series in the month of June, this time to the Miami Marlins. Despite excellent starting pitching, the Pirates managed to only win once in the four-game series due to inept offense. Is the offense doomed under Andy Haines and is too late to salvage anything?

On today's episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith breaks down the call-up of 2020 No. 7 overall pick Nick Gonzales, who just so happened to be Ethan's first player interview when he joined Locked On three years ago. Gonzales has done well at AAA Indianapolis, but can it translate to the big league level?
Also, the Pirates lost their tenth straight game on Thursday, this time to the Miami Marlins and in a very similar fashion as the bullpen surrendered another late lead. Can the bullpen mismanagement be fixed or are injuries becoming too much for the group?
Finally, its Mailbag Friday, so Ethan answers your questions and concerns about the Pittsburgh Pirates!

On today's episode of Locked On Pirates, host Ethan Smith is joined by Locked On MLB Prospects Host Lindsay Crosby to discuss the Henry Davis call-up in more depth and why his bat will always play.
Also, the slew of recent call-ups with starting pitching isn't an accident, the Pirates have some real guys in the minor league system and with injuries to the MLB pitching staff, things could get interesting with who we might see this season in the rotation that we didn't expect.
Finally, the 2023 MLB Draft is right around the corner and the Pirates have the number one pick. Who do Lindsay and Ethan think they should take between Paul Skenes and Dylan Crews?

It's a busy Monday here on the Locked On Pirates Podcast as host Ethan Smith is joined by Gary Morgan to discuss a milestone filled weekend for the Pittsburgh Pirates as Andrew McCutchen finally joined the 2000 hit club with a leadoff single on Sunday.
Aside from that, the Pirates also picked up a series victory against the reeling New York Mets, a series that could mean much more down the line for hopeful playoff contention for the Buccos.
Finally, the Pirates are off today but must stay focused as nine straight NL Central games against the Cubs and Brewers await and it could be a stretch that defines how they move forward in 2023.

The Pittsburgh Pirates lost a series to the MLB worst Oakland A's to start the week, snapping their six-game winning streak. Host Ethan Smith & Craig Toth aren't quick to hit the panic button though with arguably the biggest stretch of the season upcoming after the Mets series.
Also, with the call-up of Elly de la Cruz by the Cincinnati Reds, do we start to see a domino effect of the NL Central teams making moves in a division that is up for grabs.
Finally, top prospects Endy Rodriguez and Henry Davis are playing together in AAA, meaning a call-up could be on the horizon. Do the Pirates pull the trigger sooner rather than later?

The Pittsburgh Pirates have struggled, badly, in the month of May, but with a win today against the San Francisco Giants, they could finish the month above .500 and get a series victory, something they haven't done since April.
Also, the bullpen dominance continued on Tuesday for the Pirates as they shut down the Giants in a 2-1 victory and are quietly fielding one of if not the best bullpens in all of baseball.
Finally, Mitch Keller looks for a bounce back start against Alex Wood in the rubber match by the bay.

How about a one hour special Locked On Pirates Prospect episode?!
Host Ethan Smith is joined by Craig Toth of Inside the Bucs Basement, discussing the top farm system performers for the Pittsburgh Pirates so far this season.
Triple A: 0:00-27:20
Starting w/ TAAA, the usual top prospects are performing well, but who is flying under the radar in Indianapolis that could possibly make an impact on the big league squad this season?
Double A: 27:21-40:17
Moving on to AA, Henry Davis is the highlight and his play may force the Pirates hand on bringing him up to Pittsburgh sooner rather than later, but what other hitters and pitchers are impressing in Altoona?
Single A: 40:18-58:56
Finally, Single A Greensboro is a place for the youngsters to hone their craft and move up the system. One of Ethan and Craig's favorite pitchers in the system is there and playing considerably well in a hitters-friendly ball park, could he fix an issue the Pirates have had for quite some time when filling out a starting rotation down the road?
