MLB Winter Meetings AMA w/ Jose Negron of DK Pittsburgh Sports
from North Shore Nine: A Pittsburgh Pirates Podcast · host North Shore Nine
The latest NS9 AMA with Jose Negron of DK Pittsburgh Sports delivered one of the clearest pictures yet of where the Pirates truly stand at the Winter Meetings. Jose discussed why a multi-year contract finally feels likely, how the Schwarber offer signaled a real shift in intent, and which free-agent bats — from Jorge Polanco to Ryan O’Hearn — actually make sense for Pittsburgh. He dug into bullpen roles after the Gregory Soto addition, the dilemma of trading arms like Keller, Burrows, or Barco, and what the front office must "execute" for this offseason to be considered a genuine turning point.
