Reacting to Pirates' signing of Aroldis Chapman in MLB free agency. Is it setting up another move?
Post-Gazette Pirates insider Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to the Pirates' signing of Aroldis Chapman in MLB free agency. How much can he help manager Derek Shelton's bullpen at this stage of his career? Does the signing signal that relievers including David Bednar and Colin Holderman could be on the trading block? Or is it setting up a deal by GM Ben Cherington for possible starting pitching options including the Marlins' Braxton Garrett or Edward Cabrera? And should there be any concern about his clubhouse fit after his beanball wars with now-teammate Andrew McCutchen and domestic violence accusations from 2015? Our duo tackles those topics and more.
