Pittsburgh Pirates Trade Deadline Tracker 2023: Latest updates, major moves, and more

The Pittsburgh Pirates had previously expressed interest in being buyers at the upcoming August 1 trade deadline. After sliding from first place to sole ownership of last place in the NL Central and 12 games under .500, they are now in a drastically different position than they were.

Rumors, updates, and latest transactions

July 24

The Pirates are reportedly listening to offers on their All-Star closer David Bednar and All-Star pitcher Mitch Keller. Both players would carry a high price, making any potential deal difficult.

Pirates are also willing to listen to trade offers on All-Star starter Mitch Keller. So listening on both All-Stars, including also closer David Bednar. Would seem like a pretty low probability to happen in either case but in this sellers’ market makes sense to listen.
