Did the Pirates Rush Brandan Bidois to the Majors?

The Pittsburgh Pirates’ bullpen has been searching for answers, and Brandan Bidois is now getting his first real opportunity in the big leagues.
On today’s OffBeat, Alex Stumpf breaks down Bidois’ promotion, why the timing raised some questions, and what makes the Pirates’ young reliever such an interesting arm. Bidois was the Pirates’ 2025 Minor League Reliever of the Year and brings a unique high arm angle, mid-90s fastball, and a different look that could give hitters problems.
But with Pittsburgh’s right-handed relief group struggling, was this call-up about Bidois being fully ready, or simply about the Pirates needing someone to step up right now?
Alex also looks at the state of the bullpen, why the Pirates may still need outside additions, and how Bidois could fit into a group that badly needs stability.
