Carmen Mlodzinski’s Pirates Future Just Got Complicated

Carmen Mlodzinski’s role with the Pittsburgh Pirates suddenly feels a lot more complicated.

After being moved back to the bullpen, Mlodzinski landed on the restricted list, creating a strange situation for the Pirates’ rotation, bullpen, and his future with the organization. Jim and DiNardo discuss why Carmen had every reason to be frustrated after losing his rotation spot, why the way things played out afterward is harder to defend, and what this means for a Pirates bullpen that still badly needs help.

They also get into Konnor Griffin landing on the IL after his forearm injury did not heal quickly enough for him to throw during the road series, plus Ryan O’Hearn returning much earlier than expected and already making an impact with his bat.

Can O’Hearn help soften the blow of losing Konnor Griffin? And where do the Pirates go from here with Mlodzinski?

Listen to Bucco Brew for the full discussion.
