Pirates Miss On Okamoto: Another Gut Punch, Another Crossroads
Kazuma Okamoto to Toronto. Pirates fans are left staring at the same question: now what? On this episode of Bucco Brew, we break down the Blue Jays landing Kazuma Okamoto on a 4-year, $60 million deal and what it means for Pittsburgh after swinging big and coming up empty. With the “impact bat” still a need, where does the front office pivot if they want to be a real playoff contender in 2026? We dive into the latest buzz on Eugenio Suarez, including Jason Mackey’s reporting that the Pirates have stayed in contact but may not have the winning bid, plus the realistic trade and free agent paths that could actually move the needle. Powered by De Fer Coffee & Tea.

A Door Opens (or Slams): Kazuma Okamoto’s Decision Weekend
Tonight on The Point, Anthony DiNardo is joined by NS9’s Tyler, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Noah Hiles and Colin Beazley, plus Scott Moore from Bucco Bantr for a full-on Kazuma Okamoto roundtable. With less than 48 hours left for Okamoto to choose an MLB team, we’re putting everyone in the hot seat: if you had the chance to pitch him directly, what’s the best argument for Pittsburgh right now? We’ll break down fit, role, lineup impact, and what the Pirates can realistically offer that other suitors can’t. Then we’ll go on record with predictions: where do we think Okamoto ultimately signs? And if it isn’t the Pirates, we’ll lay out the cleanest pivot paths and who they should target next so this offseason momentum doesn’t stall.
