The Pittsburgh Pirates have lost 8 of their last 10 and just got swept by the Padres at home. With the team sitting at 12–23, the question has to be asked: is it time for Ben Cherington or Derek Shelton to go?

In this episode of Bucco Brew, we dive deep into the front office fallout — breaking down Cherington’s latest comments, Derek Shelton’s growing criticism, and whether Bob Nutting is ready to make a move. We compare this rebuild to others around the league and ask what success would even look like now.

Plus, Anthony Murphy from Bucs On Deck joins the show for a report from Bradenton and the Florida Complex League's Opening Weekend.

We wrap with a quick Cardinals series preview and ask the real question: can the Pirates stop the free fall?
