Pirates Fest RECAP 🔥 Inside the Offseason, McCutchen Drama, & Trade Targets for 2026

This weekend we had behind-the-scenes access at Pirates Fest, and we’re breaking it ALL down. ⚾🔥

We recap our awesome weekend at Pirates Fest, including exclusive player interviews and insider conversations that give a real look behind the curtain at what the Pirates’ offseason has been like — and what fans should expect heading into 2026.

We also dive into the Andrew McCutchen drama surrounding the team. Should the Pirates bring back the former MVP? We break down the pros and cons, what Ben Cherington had to say, and how a potential reunion could impact the roster and clubhouse.

To wrap it up, we explore realistic free agent and trade targets the Pirates could pursue:

  • Adam suggests Cherington revisit a familiar trade partner — Toronto — to check in on Addison Barger and Ernie Clement

  • Scott highlights Luis Rengifo as a potential roster upgrade that fits the Pirates’ needs
