Joe Block Sees Pirates Youth & Grit Blossoming In Bradenton

The future for the Pittsburgh Pirates is here…even though it may take until the future to reap the rewards for it.

Pirates broadcaster Joe Block joined Matt Drzik on A.M. Beaver County to talk about the state of the Bucs in Bradenton following their almost-comeback in a 6-5 loss to Philadelphia on Sunday.

During the conversation, Block acknowledged that the front office moves over the summer, while painful, are showing early returns that could make the Pirates into contenders in a couple seasons. He also believes that under the watch of Derek Shelton, the Bucs will be a “hard-working” team in 2021 and give the team a chance each night.
