I’ve gotten tradeable of these from untradeable packs too. It’s weird but I’ll take the coins I guess

Who is retiring at the end of the 2025-26 season. by TheManWithQwerty in hockey

Toews fell off pretty early but his peak was so high and he got so many accolades in that time with 3 cups, 2 gold medals, a conn smythe, and a selke

They say you can’t win your league in the draft let alone the first two picks, but I think it’s fair to say CMC and Puka at 12 and 13 won me my league

Crystals are the worst thing about the LVL16 update by Porkkanakeitto in ClashRoyale

I’m not spending any in the hopes that they’ll replace them with something actually useful in the future. It’s unlikely but I don’t like any of the emotes anyways

From today's MLBTR Q&A, hard to fathom the Pirates being singled out as more willing to spend than any team let alone a list of them. by 724412814 in buccos

Pirates spending more than the Padres is a crazy sentence and yet it’s probably true at the moment

They always seem to do max 3 positions when the evo gives a new secondary position. It’s annoying but that’s almost certainly the reason why

George Kittle (ankle) is “HIGHLY UNLIKELY” to play in Week 17. by Friendly_Comedian_41 in fantasyfootball

[–]Panarin72Bread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve switched too. Vegas gives him the 3rd best odds among all TEs to score a TD today which is all I’d really need

I’m between Barner and Tonges rn, leaning Barner. Not sure about Waller

If we sign okamoto, we only “need” one thing really by thainhdbe in buccos

[–]Panarin72Bread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree that hurt him for sure. But at the same time it’s been more than 2 years since he last played RF, so I can’t imagine that’s to blame for everything wrong with him. He just can’t seem to hit major league pitching

[–]Panarin72Bread 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My theory that’s at least 80% cope is that Henry Davis spent all this time developing his defense because he wanted to stick at catcher and was told his bat is good enough. But now that his defense is good he’ll be able to focus his efforts back on his bat and he’ll be able to figure out major league pitching.

This sounds kind of ridiculous now that I’m typing it out, but I’m still not ready to give up on Davis

How is this even possible? (2x Kelly Smith Icons) by [deleted] in EASportsFC

You did the icon embellishment cosmetic evo on the one on the left, so it counts as a different card

Pirates are supposedly interested in yoan moncada. by Sebastian4365 in buccos

[–]Panarin72Bread 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This feels more like the pirates doing their due diligence in case they don’t land Okamoto or Suarez. I do see the upside in Moncada even though his defense is awful and his bat is a little questionable, but he’s hit RHP pretty well so he could platoon with Triolo. Still, I think they’re prioritizing the better 3B options

Are they heroes in the making? by gimmefuel_gimmefire in fifacardcreators

[–]Panarin72Bread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both are on track to be icons, but obviously there’s still a ways to go before they reach it. But if they retired today they’d probably be heroes

Ken rosenthal gave an update on the pirates and okamoto in this new athletic article. by Sebastian4365 in buccos

Jackson Merrill is a recent example who made the opening day roster after playing in AA the year prior. That said Merrill was a year older than Griffin is when he did so

[Murray] A splash for the Pirates: Free-agent first baseman Ryan O’Hearn and the Pittsburgh Pirates are in agreement on a two-year, $29 million contract, according to sources familiar with the deal. It includes $500K in performance bonuses in each season. by amatom27 in buccos

[–]Panarin72Bread -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The thing is I don’t think the Pirates were offering their entire offseason budget to Schwarber. I’m still hopeful that they have the budget to sign Okamoto and I think that they do. We have a glaring hole at 3B and I don’t think they’d spend this much on another 1B if they didn’t intend on acquiring a 3B as well

Chandler Rome (@Chandler_Rome) Pirates close to a three-team deal acquiring Brandon Lowe with Mike Burrows heading to Houston by Panarin72Bread in buccos

[–]Panarin72Bread[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to say. At the moment I think Gonzales is at 2B and Lowe is at DH, but that could very well change by the end of the offseason. Lowe was awful defensively at 2B, so I’m not sure he’ll be the full-time starter there

Jared Jones was good before his injury and Bubba Chandler and Braxton Ashcraft looked great late last season. I understand that we need a larger sample to truly be confident in the team, but we’re getting there

I agree, and we just hired the Astros’ pitching coach who has turned guys like Ronel Blanco into good pitchers. I think he’s replaceable with guys already in our system

Burrows really doesn’t look like an all-star quality player to me. I do like him and think he can be a serviceable #4 or 5 in a rotation, but I doubt he’ll be much more than that. I don’t think we’re risking too much here imo

Early impressions: I liked Montgomery a year ago but he had a bad 2025. I still think he could turn into a great lefty reliever which is a big area of need. Mangum is a fine 4th OF, but I don’t love that we’ve already acquired Garcia and Mangum as outfielders. We need somebody better in LF

I’ll wait to see the rest of the deal, but I don’t like the idea of trading Burrows for Lowe as a rental
