    Episode 286 - LIVE Show: Marcell Ozuna, 2026 Pirates Lineup ft. Colin Beazley

    The Pirates made a splash by signing Marcell Ozuna, and we’re breaking it all down LIVE. What does Ozuna bring to the middle of the lineup, and how does his addition change the overall offensive outlook for the team?

We also zoom out to look at what’s next for the Pirates — remaining roster needs, potential moves still on the table, and how aggressive the front office might be heading into the season. Finally, we give our early outlook for the 2026 Pirates, evaluating the current roster, the balance of veterans and young talent, and whether this team is truly ready to contend. 🎙️ Topics include: • Marcell Ozuna signing reaction • Lineup construction and ripple effects • Remaining offseason priorities • 2026 Pirates outlook and expectations Make sure to like, subscribe, and jump into the chat — we want to hear your thoughts on the Ozuna move and where you think the Pirates go from here. ⚾️🏴‍☠️ Join us on Discord: https://dubclub.win/af/afl-rep3z/ Visit the TSE shop here: https://tseshop.com/?rfsn=8616256.5dea20 Visit Sports Card Junction here: https://sportscardjunction.com  Follow us on Instagram: @buccobantr Follow us on Twitter (X): @buccobantr Follow us on TikTok: @buccobantr Follow us on Blue Sky: @buccobantr.bsky.social Subscribe to our YouTube: @buccobantr Check out Just Baseball here: https://www.justbaseball.com/ Email us your questions: buccobantr@gmail.com Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/bucco-bantr/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
