- Former Pirates infielder Jung Ho Kang is on hand tonight for Pirates vs. Padres and made a catch in the stands on a foul ball.
00:00 - Does Oneil Cruz need to be better? Yes. Is he still the most talented position player the Pirates have? By far. Was his performance in the home run derby awesome? Yes it was. All three can be true.
- The Pirates have 3 starters who have a top 20 ERA in the National League this season: 5. Paul Skenes 2.44 14. Andrew Heaney: 3.02 20. Bailey Falter: 3.50 Mitch Keller is ranked 27th with a 3.88 ERA.
- The Pirates released INF Maikol Escotto, who once upon a time was a big piece of the Jameson Taillon trade to the Yankees. Zero players left in the organization from that deal — Escotto, Roansy Contreras, Miguel Yajure and Canaan Smith-Njigba.
