The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller

Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Can the Steelers sneak Will Howard onto their practice squad if he doesn’t make the 53-man roster? Steve said he doesn’t care much for a player’s special teams’ ability, but it is more important than it was 5-10 years ago. Steve thinks it makes sense for the Steelers to hold on to all 4 QBs, but he knows it’s tough for teams to justify that move....

We were introduced to the Hoffmann family today as they spoke for the first time to the media since becoming the official owners of the Penguins. What were our thoughts hearing from the new leaders of the Penguins? It sounds like this group is going to give Kyle Dubas a lot of power. When will he make his next big move? A small one was made earlier today. Another positive point for the new Penguin...

Was this one of the best series wins of the year for the Pirates? Do the Pirates have any chance of catching the Brewers or should the focus be on a wild card spot? Poni points out a move he thinks the Pirates should have made.

Is Brandon Lowe the Pirates MVP through the first half of the season? He’s on-pace for 38 HR after the team acquired him in the offseason. For as great as he’s been, it’s hard to go against Bryan Reynolds and what he has done. He has Lowe topped in every category besides home runs. The Pirates haven’t had 2 players with 100+ RBI in the same season since 1999 (Brian Giles and Kevin Young). Lowe and...

KDKA TV’s Bob Pompeani joined the show. Bob reacted to the Pirates series win over the Mariners. Bob said it could have been a sweep, but it was nice to see them rebound and win the final 2 games of the set. Pomp is hoping we see Konnor Griffin this weekend against the Reds. Is Brandon Lowe the team’s MVP? Poni said it’s hard to go against Bryan Reynolds for how great he has been in June especiall...

PM Team - 6/23/26 - 5PM Keller's struggles, Can Ozuna get on a hot streak, Hodgepodge of nothingness

Continuing on his thoughts from yesterday... Is it worth it to keep Paul Skenes if you are the Pittsburgh Pirates? It’s all about team control, and it seems like he won’t resign. One caller said it feels like this should be the Konnor Griffin era.

Konnor Griffin will start his rehab assignment on Wednesday. Poni believes even at 20 years old and less than 100 games, he’s overall one of the Pirates best players. He’s a .270 hitter despite the 2 week slump after being promoted.

Poni doesn’t think Brendan Sorsby should be punished further by not playing in the NFL. But it is a good thing for the Steelers right now, because of the QB room behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph with Drew Allar and Will Howard. Also it’s good for him because he can truly prove that he’s changed. It buys teams like the Steelers more time.

A hypothetical trade to send Paul Skenes to the New York Yankees has floated around the internet. Poni gives his thoughts on the possibilities and who would the Pirates receive. He then reaches out to the phone lines and early on, there seemed to be an agreement to send Skenes out to build around Konnor Griffin. In the next segment, pushback was received, some site management mistrust and others j...

Dallas has a problem with cap space and Kyle Dubas is looking for a star. PM Team Spo...
