The Pomp And Joe Show

Noah thinks the Pirates will trade David Bednar today and acquire a top 100 prospect. He thinks the Pirates are better off trading Bednar for prospects and a team won't part with a big hitter in the big leagues. There is a 10% chance Mitch Keller is traded and probably a better market in the offseason.

Bob Nutting has stepped in to prevent a Bednar trade in the past. Greg Brown a month ago thought Ben Cherington would make a big move, but now it's time.

Joe and Austin clash on how to acquire a bat. Austin doesn't want to trade Mitch Keller and hurt the top of the rotation with Paul Skenes. The Padres made a blockbuster acquiring Mason Miller from the A's.

A disappointing end to his time in Pittsburgh. Pirates insider John Perrotto talks to Joe about the deal and the deadline.

Could Cherington possibly keep the main trade chips around in an attempt to finish strong. Why was Cherington kept when Shelton was fired? Could Ben Cherington be the worst GM in Pittsburgh sports history? The market for relievers is hot. Is Adolis Garcia a potential option for the Bucs?

Crowley woke up John Wehner way too early. Could KeBryan Hayes be on the move? Joe is worried about mosquitos and aliens. Will Cherington take a big risk or a low risk, could the Pirates have acquired Josh Naylor instead of Spencer Horwitz, what he actually thinks the Pirates will do.
