Ahead of the 2025 MLB trade deadline, the Pittsburgh Pirates have emerged as one of the most obvious sellers on the market.
In what projects to be a buyer-heavy landscape, that should serve the franchise well, even as it looks to offload some of its most talented players.
Given their relative futility over the past few decades, it should come to no one's surprise that the Pirates don't have the strongest trade deadline track record. From giving up on über-talented prospects far too soon to buying underperforming veterans on bloated contracts, the team hasn't always been the best at navigating this time of year.
