The Pittsburgh Pirates aren't in contention for a playoff spot and the second half of their season has virtually no stakes. Somehow, they still managed to have one of the most underwhelming trade deadline performances in the league.
Pittsburgh GM Ben Cherington sold controllable players the Pirates could've used to (hopefully) be better next season, and kept impending free agents he should've collected rewards for. He neglected to sell high on Mitch Keller, and cost his club even more depth for the future.
Now, multiple free agents will depart Pittsburgh this offseason, leaving it with nothing in their positions.
