Welcome back to Locked On Pirates.

On today's episode, host Ethan Smith details why strong starts from some players on the Pirates roster could cement them into the core for years to come, meaning some of the core could already be on the roster.

Also, we all know the Pirates will likely take Kumar Rocker or Jack Leiter from Vanderbilt with the top pick in the 2021 MLB Draft, but who could the Pirates target later on in the draft?

Finally, the Buccos head to Detroit for their first AL road trip of the season and Ethan previews the first game of the three game set in Comerica Park.
