One day after Nick Herbig inked his $100M+ extension with the Steelers, Alex Highsmith missed practice. Steelers PR quickly got ahead of the narrative stating that Highsmith was ‘sick.’ If a team approached the Steelers about trading Highsmith in exchange for a 2nd round pick, should they say Yes?
Are fans buying the ‘illness’ excuse for Alex Highsmith today at practice? One legendary caller said the Steelers are the ‘North Korea of the NFL’ because they have an answer for everything.
Bucco Minute – Another big night for the Pirates last night, beating the Astros 10-6 in Houston. Home runs from Endy Rodriguez, Oneil Cruz and Brandon Lowe. Mike Burrows started for the Astros and did his usual (not great). The guys can’t get over how big the Buccos have won a trade. Should the Pirates prioritize Cruz or Lowe if they need to pay someone $200M?
