## Resource

Brandon Lowe just hit his 20th home run of the season, setting a new Pirates record for homers by this point in a year since Josh Bell in 2019. Leading the team in both homers and RBIs, Lowe is seventh in the league in homers and ninth in RBIs — a breakout season that’s made him the best acquisition since his trade from Tampa Bay. Playing on an $11M deal, his value is skyrocketing, and the Pirates must act fast to keep him. Meanwhile, Bell, now with the Twins, continues to deliver with 9 homers and 51 RBIs. The big question: Can Pittsburgh lock him down long-term, or will he hit free agency as a top-tier power bat? Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
