Pirates free agency rumors: Ryan O'Hearn, Jorge Polanco and Kazuma Okamoto power sources to watch?

Host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Pirates insider Colin Beazley to talk through the latest offseason news and rumors with the MLB Winter Meetings looming. This show is presented by FanDuel. What should we make of reports that GM Ben Cherington is planning to spend generously this offseason? And what counts as a sizable boost in payroll? Would Ryan O'Hearn make sense as a first base target? How much could Jorge Polanco help manager Don Kelley's team in the middle infield? And should Cherington be in the mix to land Japanese star Kazuma Okamoto? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders the potential signings of recent non-tender casualties JJ Bleday and Adolis Garcia and whether they could be the pieces that help put a roster that includes Paul Skenes, Oneil Cruz and Bryan Reynolds over the top for postseason berth in 2026.
