The Pittsburgh Pirates are at a pivotal moment, and the recent developments surrounding Paul Skenes and the coaching staff have sparked some intriguing conversations. With Skenes on the verge of being named Rookie of the Year and a Cy Young finalist, it’s hard not to wonder: is he the new face of the franchise that can lead the Pirates back to relevance?

But let’s not overlook the implications of Ben Cherington and Derek Shelton being in lame duck status. How do you think this uncertainty will affect their decision-making this offseason? Will they play it safe, or will they take bold risks knowing their jobs are on the line?

And what about the addition of Brent Strom as Assistant Pitching Coach? This hire could be a game-changer for the Pirates' pitching staff, but how do you see his presence impacting Oscar Marin’s role? Will it foster a collaborative environment, or could it create tension?

Lastly, let’s talk about Oneil Cruz. There’s a lot of buzz about his potential to transform the Pirates' offense in 2025. Do you think he can finally find the balance between power and contact? What adjustments do you expect him to make, and how crucial will they be for the team's success?

Join the conversation! Share your thoughts on these developments, your predictions for the Pirates' future, and any bold moves you think they should consider this offseason.
