Episode 285 - Ozuna From The Braves, Isaac Paredes, WBC

The Pirates offseason conversation is HEATING UP and we’ve got a ton to break down in this week’s episode! ⚾🔥

We start by recapping every Pirates player competing in the World Baseball Classic, including a fun wrinkle with Pirates catching coach Jordan Comadena joining Team USA as a bullpen catcher 🇺🇸

Then we dive into the international signing of Jhoendris Santos, and why the Pirates may have just landed the best player in the entire 2025 international class at only 16 years old 👀🌎

From there, we discuss Tarik Skubal’s arbitration situation and what it could mean for Paul Skenes’ future contract timeline. While some have floated the idea of trading Skenes before arbitration… Scott shuts that down QUICK ❌

Trade rumors are flying, so we break down Isaac Paredes and why he could be a massive upgrade for the Pirates lineup 💣

To close things out, Adam lays out his offseason plan, targeting:

• Marcell Ozuna

• Mike Tauchman

• José Quintana

Is this the path the Pirates should take heading into spring training? 🤔
