Pirates Upgrade With Lowe & O'Hearn. Is Kazuma Okamoto Next?

Описание: The Pirates finally added a real bat, and we’re breaking down what the Ryan O’Hearn signing actually means for the 2026 lineup. How does he fit at 1B/DH, what changes on the roster because of it, and is this a “nice move” or the start of something bigger?

Then we pivot to the Kazuma Okamoto rumors with the January 4 deadline looming, why the Pirates are reportedly among the interested teams, and what a move like that would signal about this front office. We’ll also hit the Yoán Moncada chatter as another possible third base option, plus quick notes around the division including Andrew Heaney retiring and the Reds adding JJ Bleday and Dane Myers.

Jump in live with your questions and tell us what you want next: Okamoto, Moncada, or a different bat entirely.
