Ask Me Anything! A wide ranging Pittsburgh Pirates conversation.
Can Jared Triolo’s underrated defensive value anchor the Pittsburgh Pirates’ infield, or does the team still need a major upgrade? Gary Morgan fields burning fan questions on roster construction, free agency targets like Andrew McCutchen and Jose Quintana, and weighs in on bold moves involving Ryan O’Hearn versus Eugenio Suarez for long-term impact. The conversation also tackles intriguing off-season developments—will Henry Davis’s work with Driveline unlock his power potential, and could prospect Connor Griffin make an unprecedented leap to the big leagues?
Gary addresses the ripple effects of Pittsburgh media turmoil, the implications of Tommy Pham’s claim about a broken humidor at PNC Park, and the legacy stakes if McCutchen leaves the team. Lively hypotheticals put Pirates players in the center of a potential 2026 brawl, while honest insights question if the Pirates can surpass the Steelers and Penguins as Pittsburgh’s best. Tune in for candid answers and big-picture analysis on the Bucs’ future.
