The Pittsburgh Pirates take on the Detroit Tigers at 7:05 PM EST tonight, with Johan Oviedo on the mound.
One year ago today, Oviedo was acquired by the Pirates with Malcom Nunez, in exchange for Jose Quintana and Chris Stratton.
This year’s trade deadline passes at 6 PM EST. The Pirates have veterans to deal, and a team that has recently seen an influx of young prospects called up from the minors. They’ve already traded Carlos Santana for rookie league infielder Jhonny Severino, and Severino has already homered as a member of the Pirates.
