Out of the blue, the Pittsburgh Pirates traded away Adam Frazier to the Royals for Cam Devanney, a 28-year-old shortstop in Triple-A. Sending away Frazier is the first of potentially many similar deals at the trade deadline as the Pirates evidently are gearing up towards selling.
Another name that is expected to go is Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Pittsburgh's shortstop on an expiring contract. Like Frazier, Kiner-Falefa brings an above average glove with impressive bat-to-ball skills that many playoff teams will value off the bench. That will mark two middle infielders that the Pirates would unload from the big-league roster.
