Welcome back to Locked On Pirates!

On today's episode, Adam Bittner of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette drops in to talk about the upcoming month of baseball and realistic expectations for the Pirates and the players in the month of June.

Following that, the duo talks trade talk and who the Pirates could be dealing their top trade chips at the deadline and what those trades could mean in the grand scheme of the rebuild, with the number one pick being the most important piece.

Finally, two months into the season the team is about where we all expected it to be, but what report card grade does Adam give in terms of being an MLB level team and moving towards the future?
