## Resource

The Pirates continue to find ways to win despite injuries and inconsistent performances from some of their biggest names, with players like Billy Cook, Tyler Callihan, Endy Rodriguez and Jacob Gonzalez stepping up throughout the season. Jim and Ryan discuss how that improved depth has changed the ceiling of this team, what Pittsburgh could do at the trade deadline and the upcoming series against the Yankees.
