The Pirates just swept the Mets in dominant fashion, but all eyes are now on Mitch Keller as trade rumors heat up—especially with the Cubs. Jim breaks down the series win, reacts to Ben Cherington’s latest comments, and explains why a Keller deal must be perfect to make sense. Plus, Anthony Murphy from Bucs on Deck joins the show to talk Bubba Chandler’s recent struggles, Hunter Barco’s rise, and which Pirates prospects are trending up.
