@MatthewBerryTMR Diggs to outscore Singletary and bills defense by 10.... I’m screwed

Skenes Night: He’s due. So here’s the deal. If Paul strikes out 9 or more. Like he did the last time he faced the Dodgers. And the Buccos win. I’ll give away 5 Paul Skenes jerseys. Just follow me. And retweet this post. And you’re good. Let’s go Bucs!

The whole 82-0 phenomenon reinforces that whole bit about how the only thing a bunch of dudes need in order to have a good time is to sit around announcing the names of a bunch of old athletes.

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 was on it

@JMackeyPG @_NoahHiles @AlexJStumpf do any of you by chance understand the Pirates rationale for a headliner like this?

[Travis Sawchik @Travis_Sawchik]

The Bednar return is light in the context of this relief market.

Here's what @BaseballAmerica had to say about Rafael Flores in the preseason.

"Triple-A will be a big test for Flores in 2025. Savvy arms at the level will be able to exploit holes in his swing and force him to adjust. If he can, he has a shot at being a second-division regular.

Scouting Grades: Hit: 40 | Power: 55 | Run: 20 | Field: 40 | Arm: 40.."

Flores is hitting .211 in his first 50 Triple-A PAs.

FanGraphs has a FV grade of 40 on him, MLB a 45. Not good.

Well said.. @Pirates please fire BC before the deadline so he doesn’t trade Keller for a couple AA infielders who can’t hit

[Brian McElhinny @rtjr]

This is really hard to square, other than simply saying “Ben Cherington is terrible at this”

-No top 100 prospect (have seen other relievers fetch them)
-FAR from sure help in 2026 (stated goal)
-Flores overlaps with guys this team has heavily invested in (Davis, Horwitz)
