Ask BD: Cervelli, Blass and the Bells

“Who takes over for Blass in 2020?”- bmcferren

The Pirates keep stressing this is Blass’ last season as an everyday broadcaster, not a full retirement. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear him on the airwaves in 2020, even for just a cameo.

With that in mind, I think the likely plan is John Wehner starts calling home games too and Blass is on call as a pinch-hitter. If they chose to bring in a third color guy, I think Matt Capps would be great in the booth. He’s done the pre and postgame show before, has great wit and can give fresh insights on the game as a reliever/closer.
