Latest news and updates about the Pirates
The Pirates are having a pretty good year. They sit on the fringes of the wild card race, and are second in MLB in runs scored. That’s good! They have also allowed the eighth-most runs in MLB… despite having one of the best pitchers on the planet, Paul Skenes, who is having what, for him, […]
“What does it matter to ya? When you got a job to do, you gotta do it well.

Just like my 401(k), the Cubs’ postseason odds have maintained a steady upward trajectory despite taking their share of bumps along the way. The only downside is that the Brewers are hovering just below 100% while the Pirates have begun a modest climb of their own. That means what is currently a 34-point gap could … The post Quantifying Hope: Cubs’ Steady Climb Puts Them Near 81% Playoff Odds appeared first on .

With every single day that passes, the Pittsburgh Pirates inch closer to one of the most pivotal days for the franchise in recent memory: the 2026 MLB trade deadline. As of the time I’m writing this, things are better for the Pirates than they’ve been in some time. At three games above .500, they’re serious […] The post 3 Mock Trades That Would Make for a Perfect Pirates Deadline appeared first on Just Baseball .
This week’s MLB Mailbag will tackle questions on a potential (likely?) deadline sell-off for the Jays, the extent to which starting pitchers can hurt their stock with poor outings leading into the deadline, some possible White Sox targets, the Giants’ veteran trade candidates, the Pirates’ closing need, Royals outfielder Lane Thomas and more! Let’s get […]
After a long and frustrating journey that no one could have seen coming this season, the Pirates have moved on from their former closer. Pittsburgh officially designated right-handed pitcher Dennis Santana for assignment on Thursday, cutting ties with the polarizing reliever. The Bucs acquired reliever Ron Marinaccio from the San Diego Padres in exchange for […]
The Pirates announced that they have acquired right-hander Ron Marinaccio from the Padres. The Friars, who designated him for assignment recently, receive international bonus pool considerations in return. The pool space is worth $500K, per Francys Romero of BeisbolFR. In a corresponding move, Pittsburgh has designated righty Dennis Santana for assignment. Santana, 30, is having […]
Happy Thursday, everyone. The Yankees’ slumbering lineup threatened us with a doubleheader sweep and series loss at the hands of the Pirates, as they scored in only 2 of their 18 innings on offense yesterday. A late three-run homer by Ben Rice wasn’t enough to save them from losing in Manfredball in the opener, and […]
Pirates rookie Bubba Chandler entered this game with a 4.77 ERA and the highest walk rate (13.1-percent) of any starter in baseball. Of course, that means the Yankees got blanked and drew just one walk in his 6.1 innings of work. Fortunately, Max Fried was even more dominant in his first start back from injury […]
The Yankees came oh-so-close to completing another late comeback, only to stall out after Ben Rice’s game-tying three-run homer and eventually lose in extras. They still have a chance to split the doubleheader and win the series as they take the field less than three hours after the final out of Game 1, and they’ll […]

Weekday matinees are dumb. I get that it was partially a necessity today because of the rainout yesterday and it’s always used for a getaway game, but it was also pre-scheduled and it never looks right at Yankee Stadium. That’s not an excuse for what happened today, or why the Yankees always seem to be […]

Baseball’s a weird sport. Vibes can shift so quickly. I mean, Boston fans probably felt absolutely miserable about three weeks ago and now they haven’t lost since America was only 249 years old. The Rays, once 19 games over .500 and five games up in the AL East, are cooling off (though the collapsing Blue […]

The Yankees and Pirates weren’t the only teams to get washed out of play on Tuesday night. In addition to numerous minor-league postponements, the only thing that could apparently stop the streaking Red Sox in their path was the rain. Like the Yankees, they will have a day/night doubleheader on deck today against the Orioles, […]
