Post-Gazette Sports: Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more

On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey answers reader questions. Among them: Will GM Ben Cherington make a significant move to improve the offense by the trade deadline? If names including the Toronto Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero Jr. or the New York Mets' Pete Alonso are unrealistic, what other options does he have to upgrade on Connor Joe and Rowdy Tellez? Could outfield be an area to watch, too, amid the struggles of Michael A. Taylor and Jack Suwinski? What happened with Jose Hernandez before he was sent to the Los Angeles Dodgers this week?

Jason tackles those topics and gets into a little Steelers, too. Specifically, what will the run/pass balance be in Arthur Smith's offense as it looks to get bother Russell Wilson at QB and RBs Jaylen Warren and Najee Harris going?
