Summary

Alex breaks down the Carmen Mlodzinski restricted list situation after he told the Pirates he wasn’t ready to pitch out of the bullpen, and why that creates an awkward spot for both sides. He also looks at the ripple effects on the rotation, Braxton Ashcraft, Cam Sanders, and a Pirates bullpen that badly needs length.
