Should the Pirates bring back Brandon Lowe? Which free-agent options around the league could make sense for Pittsburgh? Who should the Bucs target to improve the roster heading into next season?

Plus, we share our experience stepping into the batter's box and facing off against Paul Skenes on the Trajekt machine!
