Two things are dominating Pittsburgh Pirates land right now. The first pressing issue is how Ben Cherington will spend his $30-$40 million windfall to improve the team. That one is fresh. The second is when, to where, and for what will the Pirates deal Mitch Keller?
For a while, it had begun to feel like the answers to the second question were never, nowhere, and for nothing, as the field for Keller's services seemed to shrink. However, an argument can be made that the Sonny Gray and Dylan Cease dominoes had no impact on Keller (and perhaps not even the Johan Oviedo trade will affect him, given their depth overload).
