Episode Details

Brandon Lowe’s been a game-changer for the Pirates since his offseason trade, smashing 27 homers and 80 RBIs while setting franchise records at second base — including a walk-off homer that sealed a win. His power and defense have lifted the team’s offense to new heights, making this deal one of GM Ben Cherington’s best in seven years. But with a World Series looming and Lowe set to hit free agency, Pittsburgh faces a tough decision: offer him a multi-year extension or risk losing him to rivals. At 32 and earning just $11.5M, he’ll likely demand more — maybe even a two-year, $30M deal. For now, the Pirates are better with him — but his future could reshape their roster.
