Hey guys. Welcome to Double Shot of Pirates.

I'm Dan Kovachovich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

No small amount of movement right now for the club.

And that's as it should be because the club has some issues.

We're going to talk about those today. In fact, we're going to talk about them to such an extent

that we're actually going to try to bypass the one that everybody wants to talk about,

that of course being the bullpen.

It's Pirates versus Twins tonight.

Don Kelly versus Derek Shelton,

depending on your perspective.

Jared Jones is returning for the first time since September of 2024.

That's an event unto itself.

It should feel like a joyful occasion when he opposes Tage Bradley from Minnesota.

As it is, it's going to be, geez, really?

Now what?

Because he's in the rotation.

Carmen Maginsky is out of the rotation. Majinsky's unhappy. A lot of people are

unhappy with Maginsky for being unhappy. And Bubba Chandler is still in the rotation, which does not seem to make many people happy.

But we can also bring in all capital letters.

Arum Nexus sports cards saying that Justin Lawrence has been DFAed,

let's all head to North Shorts Havern to celebrate.

Way to make sure that thing got on there, dude.
