Brandon Lowe Won’t Stop & Ben Cherington Has A LOT To Say

The Pirates may be eliminated, but they certainly aren't playing like it. Pittsburgh swept the Royals with three comeback wins, Brandon Lowe continues to make his case for sticking around beyond 2026, Oneil Cruz joined some elite Pirates history and Rafael Flores Jr. delivered another huge moment. DiNardo and Jim break down what this late-season run actually means and which pieces of this team should be part of the plan moving forward. Plus, Ben Cherington had plenty to say on Sunday about the Pirates' progress in 2026, the bullpen turnaround, the young core, what went wrong and why he believes the organization is entering 2027 from a much stronger position.
