PLEASE, BEN… One More Big Pirates Move Before Opening Day
The Pirates have made moves this offseason. The roster looks better. The vibes are improving.
And yet… it still feels like something is missing.
On this episode of Bucco Brew, we’re asking the question every Pirates fan is quietly (or loudly) thinking: are they actually done? We break down what the current roster says about the team’s confidence, where the biggest question marks remain, and whether trusting internal options is enough for a team that believes it can contend.
Is this a “wait until the deadline” situation? Is one more bat or arm the difference between meaningful baseball and another near-miss? Or is this simply the roster we’re riding with into Opening Day?
Grab your coffee, join the conversation, and decide for yourself:
Do the Pirates need one more move… or are we asking for too much? ☕️⚾️

Is Suarez asking for too much money ??
What still needs to be done this offseason?
We shouldn't be needing a fucking payroll discussion whenever you have a generational pitcher who is only gonna be here another 2-3 years unless the CBA changes the whole economics of baseball. Its insane that we are all in but we arent willing to spend on the level of other similar market teams.
I like your guys ideas but I think Willie Castro is a waste of 7 million dollars he's asking for. Bohm is cheaper, won't take much in trade. Bohm drives in runs with more contact
We are a 76 win team…. unless Konnor Griffin starts the season and is the star we think he is
Bregman good,no…how many rbi s last year? Lol
Thats one rbi every three days..we had that …money for that? Maybe Reds will take him off Cubs hands at all star break?
You’ll get nothing and like it!
Call me crazy but I think Nutting will hit the roof if Cherrington tries to spend another $. I think this is our team for 2026.
NO PAUL SKENES WILL NEVER BE A DODGER 😭
