Pirates MLB trade deadline grades: How much do Bryan De La Cruz, Isiah Kiner-Falefa help offense?
Manage episode 431642484 series 2561648
On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey reacts to the Pirates' moves at the MLB trade deadline Tuesday. Specifically, he gives his thoughts on headline acquisitions Bryan De La Cruz, formerly of the Miami Marlins, and Isiah Kiner-Falefa, former of the Toronto Blue Jays. Where do they fit in the Pirates' lineup and defensive alignment? How much can they help the club's frustrating offense? How much credit does GM Ben Cherington deserve for adding them in the final hour before the deadline without giving up any top prospects? And what should we make of more minor deals involving Martin Perez, Jalen Beeks, Josh Walker and more?
Jason tackles those questions, analyzes the center field situation with Michael A. Taylor getting hot at the plate and gives quick thoughts on a busy first day in pads at Steelers training camp, where Russell Wilson and George Pickens provided offensive highlights.
