    The Offseason Is Basically Over… How Do We Feel Now?

    Tonight on Sicko Soundoff, Ty, Ty, and DiNardo are running the debate: did the Pirates make the best use of the money they had available now that the offseason is basically in the books? We’re breaking down the moves through one lens: value. Not just “did they add talent,” but did they allocate their budget the right way — the signings, the trades, what they prioritized, and what they didn’t do. And because it’s a Twitter/X Spaces, we want you in it: Did they spend smart? Did they leave too much on the table? What grade are you giving this offseason — and what’s the one move you still wish they made? ️ Hop in, request the mic, and let’s hear it.

    The Konnor Griffin Hype in Bradenton Is REAL for the Pittsburgh Pirates

    Spring Training is rolling in Bradenton — and one name keeps rising above the rest: Konnor Griffin. Tonight on NS9LIVE!, we’re joined by Pittsburgh Post-Gazette beat writer Colin Beazley, live from Pirates camp, to break down why Griffin has looked like the best player on the field and whether his push toward the Opening Day roster is becoming real. We’re also diving into the suddenly heated 5th starter battle between Hunter Barco, José Urquidy, and Carmen Mlodzinski — and what the Pirates are really prioritizing for that final rotation spot. Plus: could Marcell Ozuna’s presence be exactly what Oneil Cruz needs to unlock another level offensively and as a clubhouse force? If the Pirates are going to take the next step in 2026… the answers might already be forming in Bradenton.

    Don Kelly Is Bringing Pirates Culture Back With The Return Of AJ Burnett

    A familiar face is back in Bradenton — and the energy around Pirates camp feels different. A.J. Burnett showed up at Spring Training today, and the reaction from players and staff was immediate. But this isn’t just a nostalgic visit. It’s part of something bigger. Manager Don Kelly appears to be opening the door for former Pirates to reconnect with the clubhouse — a shift from recent years that could matter more than it seems. Jim and DiNardo break down what Burnett’s presence means, why it resonates with fans and players alike, and what this says about the culture forming around the 2026 Pirates. Plus, with Spring Training officially underway, the guys share their top three things they’re most excited to watch as camp begins in Bradenton. Batman returns. A new tone in camp. Baseball is back.

    Pirates Baseball Is Back: Ozuna Impact, Cutch Concerns, and Day 1 Vibes

    Pitchers and catchers are officially back, and Pirates baseball is underway in Bradenton, Florida. On tonight’s episode of NS9LIVE!, we’re joined by José Negron of DK Pittsburgh Sports, who’s on the ground for Day 1 of spring training. José gives us firsthand insight into the atmosphere at camp, early storylines, and what stood out as players reported. We also dive deep into the Pirates’ signing of Marcell Ozuna and what it means for this lineup moving forward. How does Ozuna change the offense? What does his presence at DH mean for the defense? And how does this impact roster flexibility heading into Opening Day? Plus, we discuss what this move could mean for the chances of Andrew McCutchen returning to Pittsburgh, and say why that possibility now feels more uncertain than ever. It’s Opening Week energy, real talk, and everything Pirates fans need to know as the season gets underway.
