Marco Gonzales is a Pittsburgh Pirate.. and they shouldn't stop there

Late Tuesday night, we finally got some encouraging off-season news out of Pittsburgh as they traded for LHP Marco Gonzales from the Atlanta Braves for a PTBNL and cash considerations. Host Ethan Smith breaks down the move, why its another stab at a soft throwing lefty, why the Pirates will continue to add to the rotation and the impact Gonzales could have in 2024. Also, the Rule 5 Draft concluded without much fuss from Pirates fans, but they did add Seth Beer. Is Beer depth in the system or could he impact the 1B spot for the Pirates in 2024? Finally, the draft lottery was won by the Cleveland Guardians last night, with the Pirates slotting in at No. 9 overall in the 2024 Draft. Who do Jim Callis & Johnathan Mayo think the Pirates take at No. 9 in their very early top-10 mock draft? https://www.mlb.com/news/top-draft-pick-predictions-for-2024-draft Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
