Pirates reporter Colin Beazley from the PG joined the show. Colin labeled Esmerlyn Valdez as ‘untouchable’ ahead of the trade deadline and said he wouldn’t part with really anyone on the Major League roster right now. Colin mentioned that a Mason Miller trade would likely include a big-money player from the Padres that they are looking to move in order to free up money. How can the Pirates add to the roster without adding much in terms of payroll? Colin’s guess is that Luke Weaver will be the Pirates main target at the trade deadline. Colin thinks the next 2 weeks could be the final days of Dennis Santana in a Pirates uniform.
