Summary

Alex breaks down Jared Jones’ second rehab start, the encouraging signs from his power stuff, and why his eventual Pirates role is not as simple as “starter vs. reliever.” With Jones nearing a potential late-May return, the show explores the risks of a bullpen transition and why keeping him on a starter’s schedule may still make the most sense.
