The Pittsburgh Pirates are firmly in the National League Wild Card race, and their improved depth might be the biggest reason why.

Jim and Ryan discuss how players like Billy Cook, Tyler Callihan, Endy Rodriguez, Jacob Gonzalez, Jake Mangum and Esmerlyn Valdez have stepped up throughout the season. Even with Oneil Cruz, Konnor Griffin, Spencer Horwitz and Brandon Lowe missing time, the Pirates continue to find different ways to win.

They also discuss the Pirates’ plans at the trade deadline, concerns about ownership limiting payroll, potential bullpen targets and the upcoming series against the New York Yankees.
