Bucco Brew hit the ground running live from the MLB Winter Meetings, and this episode had everything Pirates fans could ask for: real buzz, real rumors, and yes, a real offer on the table for Kyle Schwarber. DiNardo and Jim broke down the energy in Orlando, from late-night networking to waking up to a flurry of Pirates news. The guys revisited the Jhostynxon Garcia trade with a more level head after sleeping on it, debated his upside, and dug into the waiver claim of former top prospect Marco Luciano. Then came the headline topic: Pittsburgh reportedly offering Schwarber four years and around $100 million, an unprecedented swing that could redefine the franchise’s direction. They also touched on the Ketel Marte chatter, Barry Bonds’ Hall of Fame snub, and what might unfold as the Winter Meetings heat up.
