I wanted to ignore the Pirates so badly on this A’s trip in the name of sleep, but they’re sucking me in tonight!

In case you were interested, the Pirates pen leads the league in hit batsman coming into tonight.

Would not be surprised if the Pirates make 2-3 more roster moves beyond Yorke before Tuesday.

Position players pitching in blowouts is getting tired. What I’d like to see is Paul Skenes or Bubba Chandler inserted as the DH up 10 runs.

I hate how every time the Pirates have a legit team, the NL central suddenly becomes the best division in baseball.

It’s a home run at 27/30 ballparks. Not this one though.

A good chunk of the problem with the Pirates bullpen has been figuring out individual roles to get to Soto and Santana. The bulk of the rest have been middle relief. I think they’re beginning to figure out who does what. If they could find just one guy to handle bulk, they’d be in great shape.

Seth Hernandez’s line for Single-A Bradenton tonight: 5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 9 K 61 pitches, 40 strikes, 11 whiffs The nine strikeouts are a new career high. His ERA through four starts is down to 0.53. It might be time to start looking into Greensboro rentals.

I don’t think Wilbur Dotel got the call to make his MLB debut. I think he’s an insurance policy if they need bulk until Sisk, and Matson can go again. He was already on the 40-man so they skipped his start expecting the pen would get taxed again by rain.

Frustrating Pirates loss. They’ve had issues with stranding guys, but 3 bullpen spots and their lack of a bulk reliever has really killed them.

I’m generally not for promotions after three starts, but I don’t think I can recall a high school pitcher coming in and dominating A ball the way Seth Hernandez has.

Seth Hernandez allowed a triple against the first batter he faced in his pro debut tonight. He proceeded to strikeout 8 of the next 11 in 3IP. -2.13 FIP it my math is right.

Pirates Could Land Free Agent Reliever
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates had a strong bullpen last season, but are still looking for options in free agency. The Pirates already signed veteran left-

These declines are MASSIVE. And the comparative silence in media coverage is absolutely DAMNING. “Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?” THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it. Falls to pre-war (!!) levels? Just CRICKETS.

I think the Pirates off-season proceeds like this. They prioritize 3B and what they spend there determines what they do at DH. If they end up with Murakama, Okamoto, or Suarez, I think they bring Cutch back to DH. If they land Moncada or trade for Bohm, I think they sign someone like Arraez

Some more thoughts on the trade: - Mike Burrows trade value and ceiling are a lot higher than a lot of people think. He’s already a four in an above average rotation and I think his could be a 3. - Jake Mangum is very similar to Harrison Bader. - Mason Montgomery might be the sizzle long term.

This trade makes a Cutch reunion more realistic for Pirates fans like myself who hate the idea of him retiring elsewhere.

Steve DiMiceli @steve-dimiceli.bsky.social · 19/12/2025
Mason Montgomery has high leverage / back of the rotation upside and the Pirates still needed LHP. Would not be shocked if they stretch him out as a starter in ST, but barring injury, he’s very likely to head north.

Pirates, Astros, Rays trade is pending medicals, per source. Infielder Brandon Lowe, outfielder Jake Mangum and LHP Mason Montgomery would come to Pittsburgh, Mike Burrows to Houston. @ken-rosenthal.bsky.social was on it

The Pirates should be actively working to address LF in tandem with working on the splash signing. I think the hold up is that they’re prioritizing trading Keller to move his salary and reduce the prospect cost and they’re just not getting the offers they were expecting for him.

Steve DiMiceli @steve-dimiceli.bsky.social · 18/12/2025
Just a theory, but I think the Pirates want to make one splash signing and build around it. At the moment, they’re prioritizing the Japanese 3Bs. If they miss there, they likely pursue Suarez and he might get more annually than either of them. I think they address 2B and LF via trades.

5 years at $150 million for a 33 year old full time DH is not great business. Neither is 4 years though.

How the Pirates used Dauri Moreta this year was mind boggling to me and now they pick Yohan Ramirez and Cam Sanders over him. Insane even if Dauri will cost slightly more through arbitration.
