Pirates, Meet the NL East? MLB's Potential Realignment

Bucs talk, big maps, bigger vibes. Tonight we break down Stephen J. Nesbitt’s fresh MLB realignment proposal—what changes, what sacred rivalries stay intact, and why his map could actually work. Then we dive into Bubba Chandler’s first two big-league showings: a four-inning SAVE in his debut and four scoreless for his first MLB WIN—with eight whiffs and triple-digit heaters in outing No. 2. What’s his role the rest of 2025? We’ll also zoom out on the Pirates’ past week and what’s real vs. noise as the push continues. (Hint: the arrow’s pointing up.)
