Did you know Konnor Griffin’s signing scout was Darren Mazeroski, son of Bill Mazeroski?

Really good story by @jonathanmayomlb.bsky.social on how the Pirates’ historic past and exciting future will connect on Friday:

What to expect when Painter 'finally' makes his MLB debut Andrew Painter was supposed to be Exhibit A for pitching phenoms, not the poster boy for how non-linear baseball development can be. Yet here we are. After a 2022 season that saw him dominate three le...

Andrew Painter is scheduled to make his long-awaited MLB debut tonight for the Phillies.

Are you trying to kill us? :)
