The Pittsburgh Pirates were just swept by the White Sox, and it's pushed the fanbase to the edge. In this episode of Bucco Brew, we dive deep into Ben Cherington’s tenure as GM, and ask the question: why is he still making decisions for 2026?

We also recap another brutal series loss and preview what's ahead against the Tigers. It’s time to hold this front office accountable.
