## Resource

Pirates’ pitcher Carmen Mlodzinski has been placed on the restricted list after reportedly telling the team he wasn’t ready to pitch out of the bullpen — a move that’s baffling given his strong performance and the team’s playoff push. With Jared Jones back from injury, Mlodzinski’s absence isn’t just a roster tweak — it’s a distraction that’s drawing heat from fans and critics alike. The front office is also under scrutiny for enabling a culture where players openly defy team expectations, risking focus and momentum at a critical time. The Pirates need to quickly realign their locker room if they hope to stay in contention. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
