The Pirates Answer WAS Adding Framber Valdez To This Stacked Rotation

Three minutes before going live, everything changed.

Just as NS9LIVE was preparing to break down the Pirates’ potential pursuit of Framber Valdez, the news dropped — he was off the board. Another big arm gone. Another pivot. Another missed opportunity.

In this episode, DiNardo and Tyler react in real time to the sudden shift, dive into what the Pirates’ rotation really needs, and debate whether this front office is doing enough to push this team toward contention. Is adding pitching still the priority? Did Pittsburgh do enough? And what does this say about their long-term plan?

From frustration to honest analysis, this is a raw conversation about where the Pirates stand — and where they need to go.
