It looks like Jazz Chisholm is officially on the market if a team is willing to call the Marlins. Should the Pirates be one of those teams?

One of the big takeaways from the chat with John was the point he made about Ke’Bryan Hayes and if the Pirates would consider moving on from him sooner rather than later. If the Pirates moved on from Hayes, would you be in favor of it? Hayes is supposed to be a cornerstone piece of this organization and he’s getting worse as time goes on.

A report is out about what we will see Bob Nutting and the Pirates possibly do at the deadline. The front office is reportedly “furious” by things Nutting said a few weeks ago – calling the words “misleading at best.” How much truth is there to the story? Does it make you feel differently about things?

Where do we see the relationship between Bob Nutting and Ben Cherington going from here? Is it fractured to a point of no return next season?

Baseball writer John Perrotto from Pittsburgh Baseball Now joined the show. John talked about the story he put out there this morning on the report of Bob Nutting saying publicly that he would like to see money spent, but the crew of Ben Cherington saying otherwise behind-the-scenes. John said the implication was that the team would be spending more money than they spent in the last regime, but that has not happened. Does John think the Pirates will be buyers or sellers as we near the trade deadline? What does John make of speculation the Pirates make look to move on from Ke’Bryan Hayes in the not-so-distant future? Should the Pirates still be interested in Jazz Chisholm? John said the club likes Luis Robert, but that is likely a pipe dream.

We continued to react to the Cam Sutton news. We took calls on Sutton and the Pirates.

Paul Skenes is an All Star – making history in the process. Should Skenes pitch early in the game? How does the national scope view that thought process? If the goal is to get eyeballs on the product, why not have Skenes pitch in a big spot? Is there a thought that Skenes should have to ‘earn’ his spot?

What should the Pirates do at the deadline?
