The 2024 Player Preview series continues today as host Ethan Smith discusses the duo of Martin Perez and Marco Gonzales on today's show.

Perez was apart of a World Series roster in 2024 w/ the Texas Rangers, losing some playing time with a loaded staff, but he's shown he has the stuff to be viable pitcher on any staff. Can Perez rekindle some of his past form? Did the Pirates find a gem in signing him? Can he be a solid number two option behind Keller?

Gonzales was acquired via trade and it rose some eyebrows, especially with his nerve damage injury last season? Is health the only thing stopping Gonzales? Can he be the Pirates next reclamation project? How important is he to the staff?

We talk about that and more on today's episode of Locked On Pirates.
