Pirates Spring Training LIVE from LECOM Park: Bubba Chandler Day (Sorry for first 3 mins of audio - bad wifi)

North Shore Nine is LIVE from LECOM Park in Bradenton ahead of Pirates vs. Yankees — and it’s Bubba Day. We preview Bubba Chandler’s spring debut, what we want to see from him as he ramps up in 2026, and why the process matters more than the box score this early.

We also hit the other arms to watch today: Hunter Barco (and the path to forcing his way onto the Opening Day roster), plus bullpen looks from Dennis Santana, Kyle Nicholas, Gregory Soto, and Brandan Bidois (2025 Pirates minor-league pitcher of the year).
