MLB Winter Meetings AMA w/ Jose Negron of DK Pittsburgh Sports
Jose Negron joined NS9 live from the Winter Meetings to break down the Pirates’ offseason priorities, from the likelihood of a multi-year deal to how aggressive they’ll get on bats like Polanco, O’Hearn, or even bigger names via trade. He also weighed in on bullpen roles, rotation depth concerns after the Oviedo move, and what “execution” really has to look like for this offseason to be considered a turning point.

Show Notes
The latest NS9 AMA with Jose Negron of DK Pittsburgh Sports delivered one of the clearest pictures yet of where the Pirates truly stand at the Winter Meetings. Jose discussed why a multi-year contract finally feels likely, how the Schwarber offer signaled a real shift in intent, and which free-agent bats — from Jorge Polanco to Ryan O’Hearn — actually make sense for Pittsburgh. He dug into bullpen roles after the Gregory Soto addition, the dilemma of trading arms like Keller, Burrows, or Barco, and what the front office must "execute" for this offseason to be considered a genuine turning point.
