Jared Jones Is Back, Mlodzinski Is In The Bullpen, Bubba Chandler Stays Put

Jared Jones is officially returning to the Pittsburgh Pirates rotation, but his comeback forced the team into a tough decision: Carmen Mlodzinski is headed back to the bullpen while Bubba Chandler stays in the rotation. On this episode of NS9LIVE, Jim, Tyler and DiNardo break down why the move makes sense for the Pirates, why it still feels rough for Mlodzinski, and what it says about the current state of this bullpen. They also discuss Tyler Callihan being recalled, Esmerlyn Valdez being optioned, the latest concern around Konnor Griffin, and the early stages of MLB’s CBA negotiations between the owners and players. The Pirates need Jared Jones back, they need bullpen help, and they need answers fast. This episode gets into all of it. NS9LIVE is presented by FanDuel.
