Pirates spring training: What makes Bradenton lifestyle unique? Mistake not to sign Gary Sanchez?
On this week's episode of the Pitching In Pirates podcast, Post-Gazette insider Jason Mackey welcomes wife and Post-Gazette health writer Abby Mackey to discuss the spring training lifestyle, its uniqueness to baseball and what they love about it. Abby shares some key points from her recent Post-Gazette story about things to do for families visiting Bradenton, Fla., with the club. Jason shares from his column on restaurant rankings. And both recall previous trips to Bradenton/Sarasota/Anna Maria Island and what makes that area so special. Jason also gets into some baseball topics. What should we make of the Pirates missing out on Gary Sanchez, the catcher who signed with the Brewers this week? How they should help their starting rotation, either through trades for names like Edward Cabrera or Bryan Woo or free agents like Trever Bauer, Michael Lorenzen, Domingo German or Noah Syndergaard? And what does the loss of Canaan Smith-Njigba, as well as the signing Brett Honeywell to a minor league deal mean for the 2024 team?
