Episode Details

Oneil Cruz is the top priority for the Pittsburgh Pirates—right after Paul Skenes. Despite missing time due to injury, Cruz is on pace for another 20-20 season with elite exit velocity and barrel rate, plus improved defense in center field. His return from a hand fracture has been strong, blending power and patience. With his contract not due until 2028, the Pirates should act now, targeting an 80-85M deal similar to Ryan McMahon’s. Locking him down would cement a dynamic core for years to come.
