## Resource

The Pittsburgh Pirates’ playoff dreams are hanging by a thread—thanks to a crumbling bullpen that’s costing them late-game wins. GM Ben Cherington admits the team needs help, but insists major trades aren’t possible until after the July draft, frustrating fans who’ve waited since 2015 for real contention. With a solid offense and starting pitching, the Pirates have the makings of a winning season—if only their relief corps could stop leaking. Fans want action, not excuses. Cherington’s got to deliver a clear plan before the pressure breaks. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
