Does Bob Nutting actually care about the Pittsburgh Pirates franchise? Top trades for Mitch Keller?
On his daily First 10 podcast presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey goes on a rant about whether Bob Nutting actually cares about the Pittsburgh Pirates franchise and why the team is sticking with “this group” heading into 2025 and beyond. He also talks about Terry Francona coming out of retirement, as well as the future of Ke’Bryan Hayes and Henry Davis. Also, what entertaining trade offers should Ben Cherington consider for Mitch Keller this offseason? For more sports, visit post-gazette.com.

No. Not one single bit outside of how much money can he take from the organization and take from MLB
I'm just copying and pasting this in the most recent video for all Pirates youtubers. We need a way to organize to bring attention to the change in ownership that is needed. All the firings mean nothing if Nutting is still at the top. What is the best way to organize online? I personally prefer discord, but not sure how many have the app. Facebook group? Telegram? We need to organize, plan, and see what we can get done. Local sports media is itching to cover fan outrage.
Nutting is the worst owner of a sports franchise and nothing will change until he sells the team.
Great title to your video Jason but those of us that follow the Pirates know the answer- HELL NO!
Not only NO HELL NO
Not only does he not care he plans on screwing Pittsburgh for decades to come.
He probably would have had a shot at francona if he wanted. Although if i was francona I'd be hesitant. But he just chose a market smaller than Pittsburgh to manage.
Shelton and Cherington are a package deal. Ben sold Nutting on one more year, Jason. I wish I was convinced that Hayes will do the exercises he needs to do to to get his back straightened out. I don't believe he has the burning desire to be the best he can be. Thanks for your great work!
