About this episode
Can the Pirates finally turn potential into results? Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette joins FT to break down Pittsburgh’s 2025 outlook. Paul Skenes is expected to pitch without restrictions and take on a bigger clubhouse leadership role. Even with Skenes and Jared Jones penciled in the Opening Day rotation, the Pirates still expect top pitching prospects to contribute in 2025. Instead of spending money, the team must rely on better health and production from multiple position players for the team to be competitive. Noah also dives into David Bednar’s rough 2024 and owner Bob Nutting's pathetic lack of spending. Hosts: AJ, SB, EK Leave a rating/review if you're liking these team previews plz!
