| 2/04/26 | Prospect News: Top 100 For 2026 Dynasty Fantasy Baseball. 76. Pirates RHP Seth Hernandez | 19 | NA | 2029
I might wind up low on Seth Hernandez despite loving the player. How could you not? He throws a hundred miles an hour with an adult change-up and solid command. Comes down to timeline stuff. Pittsburgh can develop pitching, but they won’t be in any kind of hurry with Hernandez. They have Oneil Cruz and Paul Skenes today. Jared Jones is on the way back and Bubba Chandler is on the way up. Why take a player who’s five years away? It’s certainly defensible because Hernandez is awesome, but it also feels like old thinking in that a front office shouldn’t draft for short-term impact. We have all seen the opposite over the last several years. Amateur baseball has come a long way. Then I think of Jackson Jobe and Andrew Painter, who’ve both been great in the minors at times but have battled injuries throughout their careers. Can’t predict that, of course, but it’s just hard to point to a high school right-hander who has returned a ton of dynasty value. There’s Hunter Greene, but he’s been hurt, too Source: https://razzball.com/prospect-news-top-100-for-202... |

It wasn't just the scoreboard where the Pittsburgh Pirates were winning Thursday night — the height jokes were flying, too. During pregame warmups ahead of the Reds-Pirates series opener at PNC Park, 6-foot-7 Oneil Cruz and 6-foot-5 Elly De La Cruz had some good-natured fun at the expense of 5-foot-9 Matt McLain.

While McLain took the ribbing in stride, the rest of the night wasn't quite as enjoyable for the Cincinnati Reds. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/other-sports/elly-de-la-c... |
| 8/06/25 | Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star Getting Rare Day Off Amid Disappointing Slump. Oneil Cruz is not starting for the Pittsburgh Pirates against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday, per the team's official lineup card . Cruz had played in each of the Pirates' last 22 games dating back to July 8. The first-time All-Star has failed to get on base for 19 consecutive plate appearances, though, so perhaps now is the right time to give him a breather. The 26-year-old shortstop-turned-center fielder previously appeared in 25 straight games between April 13 and May 10, before he missed time with lower back tightness. Cruz has logged 102 games played this season, which ranks second on Pittsburgh's roster. He leads the National League with 34 stolen bases, all while batting .209 with Source: https://www.si.com/fannation/mlb/fastball/news/pit... |
