Pirates mailbag: When will Bubba Chandler be promoted? Should Oneil Cruz already have an extension?

On his weekly mailbag podcast, Post-Gazette Pirates insider Noah Hiles answers reader questions. Among them: When will prospect Bubba Chandler be promoted to bolster the rotation behind names like Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller? Did Ben Cherington make a mistake in not extending Oneil Cruz this offseason, given his hot start at the plate? Who's the front runner to be the Pirates' All-Star through April? Cruz? Skenes? Maybe Andrew McCutchen? How does Noah assess the job Matt Hague has done as hitting coach? With some players having solid starts but others like Jack Suwinski and Tommy Pham struggling mightily? And is Pham a bust like Rowdy Tellez as a free agent signing? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
