Pittsburgh Pirates Podcast: Rum Bunter Radio Discusses the Future

How far away is the light at the end of the tunnel for the Pittsburgh Pirates?

According Rum Bunter staff writer Noah Wright that light for the Pittsburgh Pirates may be much closer than you expect.

In this episode of Rum Bunter Radio Marty, Trey and Noah break down all news surrounding Pittsburgh Pirates baseball throughout the week and preview what’s to come as Spring Training approaches.

This time of the year is exciting for baseball fans; the game is only one month away. For players Spring Training can be a complete rollercoaster.

The Pittsburgh Pirates announced their non-roster invitees to Spring Training 2021 this past week, and it came with newly familiar names.

The crew breaks down the most important players on this list, and talk about why they were selected as non-roster invitees.

In 2020 the NL central was as odd as any division in the whacky, unorthodox year of baseball.

In 2021, things could potentially be taking a turn for the worst. Outside of St. Louis’ decision to bring in MVP third baseman Nolan Arenado, the division got worse as a whole this offseason, pointing to the Cardinals as the front-runner.

Being the champion of the worst division may not mean much to some, but to a leveled out division teams like Chicago and Milwaukee still find themselves with a chance.

To close out the episode Noah talks about two of his most recent articles detailing the Pirate rebuild and what point it has currently made it to.

Has Ben Cherington done enough to this point? Noah and the rest of the crew believe so, and they detail which moves have already left a sweet taste in the mouths of Pirates fans.

Spring Training 2021 is right around the corner and Rum Bunter Radio has you covered.
