Pittsburgh’s PR Offseason? Schwarber Miss, Polanco Pivot & Real Trade Targets
Dec 15, 2025Emma Lingan joins Adam to dissect a weird week for Pittsburgh: a public Schwarber offer that wasn’t close, Adolis García choosing Philly, Jorge Polanco to the Mets at $20M AAV, and the Pirates still without an impact bat.

We lay out a practical path: targets, price tiers, and how to avoid a Tommy Pham floor outcome.
