Cook And Poni

Hour one with Joe Starkey and Paul Zeise. The Pirates acquired outfielder Bryan De La Cruz, utilityman Isiah Kiner-Falefa, and reliever Jalen Beeks at the trade deadline. Ben Cherington made some solid deals, not a huge trade, but necessary ones to add offense and a reliever. Bryan De La Cruz profiles more as a DH but can play the field. His ceiling is a Teoscar Hernandez-type player. Craig thinks Chisholm would have been the better move but the Pirates weren't the second option in a deal. The Pirates have stolen July back from the Steelers.
