North Shore Drive podcast - Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more

On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey answers reader questions. Among them: Who's the better fit among potential Penguins trade options for GM Kyle Dubas? The Carolina Hurricanes' Martin Necas? Or the Columbus Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine? What does the Alex Nedeljkovic extension mean for Tristan Jarry's future here? And why are Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang Jason's favorite Penguins to interview? He tackles those hockey questions, plus some about the Pirates. Could Vince Velasquez return to bolster the club's pitching depth, especially as manager Derek Shelton and GM Ben Cherington look to limit innings for Paul Skenes and Jared Jones? Will the team every re-brand to more of a 1970s look? And when will Cherington try to make a move to improve the club between now and the MLB trade deadline?
