In an unexpected move, the Pirates placed right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski on the team’s restricted list today. Righty Cam Sanders was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis to take Mlodzinski’s spot on the active roster, and Pittsburgh now has an open spot on its 40-man roster. As a reminder, players aren’t paid for any time spent on […]
Before this game started, the Minnesota Twins placed SP Bailey Ober on the IL with elbow inflammation (this being just two days after the same fate befell Kendry Rojas). Byron Buxton was also not in the starting nine this afternoon in support of Zebby Matthews. It all proved too much to overcome as the Twins […]

The Pirates front office has to be kicking themselves. Brandon Lowe would've signed a contract extension before the season. Now, he is out of Pittsburgh's price range.

The Twins and Pirates managed to pack two blowouts and a nailbiter into the same nine-inning game, trading blows in a contest that saw both teams score six unanswered runs, culminating in a 10-9 slugfest that produced 27 total hits. For all the world, it looked like another Chicago-esque runaway early. The Pirates struck first […]

Esmerlyn Valdez may have had a short first stint in the Major Leagues, but he showed signs of what could be to come for the Pirates outfield. Valdez made his MLB debut on May 22 against the Toronto Blue Jays and reached base on a walk. He didn’t record his first career hit until two […]
The Twins blew an early lead, got it back, pulled out a near-Houdini in the eighth… and in the ninth, the Pirates’ longest-tenured player won the game. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: AppleTV lets some doofus with an iPhone hover around the pitching mound during warmups. I wonder how pitcher Jared Jones feels about this. He’s plenty […]

The Pittsburgh Pirates are 57 games into the 2026 season and they have been a pleasant surprise so far. If the season ended today they wouldn’t make the playoffs but they are only 2 games out of the NL wild card spot. The team has been a surprise but who on the team has been […]
The Cubs broke their long losing streak with a 10-4 win over the Pirates Wednesday, though that game was close until the late innings after the Cubs had taken an early lead.

The Cubs finally snapped their 10-game losing streak Wednesday night in Pittsburgh and you could almost feel the sigh of relief on the North Side of Chicago. They posted 10 runs against the Pirates while holding the Buccos to just four. Under ordinary circumstances I’d just want to savor this win and not worry about […]
When the Yankees acquired David Bednar from the Pittsburgh Pirates at last season’s Trade Deadline, he almost immediately stabilized the back end of the bullpen. After his first disastrous appearance with the team against the Marlins in early August, he allowed just 4 runs in 23 innings, striking out 33 and walking only 9, as […]
