Another trade deadline has come and gone—quite a fun one, may I add—with the Pittsburgh Pirates staying largely on the sidelines.
As I covered last week, there were players the Pirates could have moved, but if they weren’t serious about trading Bryan Reynolds or David Bednar, it likely wasn’t going to be very impactful, as many of their other pieces weren’t highly valued.
They made three trades total—with Daniel Vogelbach kicking off the proceedings. I covered that last week, so I’ll break down how much payroll was impacted by their other deals and look at the total picture as well.
