Starkey & Mueller

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. We reacted to the DFA of Andrew Heaney after he reached an incentive last night in a brutally bad stretch of pitching. Greg talked about winning in 2026 and why Heaney didn’t fit into that equation. Where does Jack Suwinski fit into future plans? Greg doesn’t dismiss Konnor Griffin starting 2026 with the big-league club, but noted that it is still unlikely. Chris pointed out the wild Pirates stat, that they are objectively great at home but horrible on the road. Greg still doesn’t think the Pirates are really THAT far away from being a good team.
