The Pittsburgh Pirates have made a trade in the Music City.
Late Tuesday night in Nashville at the MLB Winter Meetings, the Pirates agreed to acquire left-handed starter Marco Gonzales from the Atlanta Braves for a player to be named later. ESPN’s Jeff Passan was first to report the deal. The Pirates will also receive cash in the move.
A former Seattle Mariner frontline starter, Gonzales was dealt alongside Jarred Kelenic to Atlanta on Sunday. Gonzales was thought to be moved in a salary dump by the Mariners.
Gonzales, 31, is owed $12.
