Today was the final home game for the 2024 Pittsburgh Pirates. Mitch Keller took the mound for his final start and ended the year the way he has been pitching for most of the second half, unfortunately. What do we take away from this and who is the Mitch Keller we should come to expect going forward heading into 2025?

The baseball world took storm to the Rowdy Tellez news being DFA'd but not simply for the fact that they released him, but because the reporting done by Ethan Hullihen let us all know that he was just 4 plate appearances away from reaching a $200,000 bonus. Joining us is Ethan to talk further about this situation.

Lastly, today marked the very last game the A's will play in Oakland as they are set to play in Sacramento next year until their likelihood destination of Las Vegas in the future. Joining us is Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Beat Writer, Andrew Destin, who grew up an Oakland fan and was at the game today.
