Pirates Spring Training Kicks Off with Major Injury News!

Spring Training is here, but the Pirates are already dealing with a setback. Spencer Horwitz, the team’s biggest offseason acquisition, showed up to camp in a cast after undergoing wrist surgery. Ben Cherington says the team knew about his chronic wrist issues before trading for him—but is this a red flag for the season ahead?

Jim and Tyler break it all down with special guest Andrew Destin from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

🚨 EMERGENCY PODCAST: Spencer Horwitz Undergoes Wrist Surgery! What’s Next for the Pirates? 🚨

The Pirates’ offseason just took a massive hit as Spencer Horwitz, projected to be one of the team’s best hitters, has undergone wrist surgery. With Opening Day just weeks away, Pittsburgh now faces a major question: Who steps in at first base? Billy Cook? Brian Reynolds? Adam Frazier? Or will Ben Cherington finally make a move?

Join us as we break down the injury news, discuss the Pirates' options, and vent our frustrations about yet another setback before Spring Training even begins. Will this force the front office into action, or are we in for another long season of patchwork lineups?

Like, comment, and let us know your thoughts—how should the Pirates replace Horwitz?
