The Pittsburgh Pirates have acquired Texas Rangers closer Keone Kela in exchange for left-handed pitcher Taylor Hearn and a player to be named later. Expect that second name to be announced soon. The delay in announcing it is that the team hasn't been able to contact the player yet due to the late timing of the deal. More on this move shortly.

We have covered Kela here a few times already because he's been the main name associated with the Pirates. Here's slightly updated notes (he has pitched since then) from the first article when we found out that the Pirates had legitimate interest in him.
