Pirates mailbag: Bubba Chandler, Hunter Barco coming soon? Paul Skenes contract extension?

In his weekly Pirates mailbag podcast, Post-Gazette insider Noah Hiles answers reader questions. Among them: Why haven't top prospects Bubba Chandler and Hunter Barco been called up already, and will they be soon? Is the front office not as high on Billy Cook and Nick Yorke as we may have thought? Is there anything for fans to buy into heading into next season? Are the Pirates discussing a contract extension with Paul Skenes? And is the 2026 opening day third baseman in the organization already? Or will it an outside acquisition? Noah answers those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
