Are Pirates' Paul Skenes, Jared Jones ready for challenge of Dodgers, Shohei Ohtani?
On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey previews the Pirates' series against Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers at PNC Park. Are young stars Jared Jones and Paul Skenes ready for the challenge of pitching against one of MLB's best lineups and one of their hometown teams growing up? Will they be starstruck at all going against Shohei Ohtani specifically? And what could the promotion of Henry Davis mean for the team and the series? Jason tackles those questions, then gets into former Pirate Tucupita Marcano' possible ban from baseball for betting, plus Justin Jefferson's new contract with the Minnesota Vikings and what it could mean for the Steelers with George Pickens and their possible pursuit of a No. 2 wideout like the 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel via trade.
