Pirates take advantage of Dodgers' roster churn by adding reliever

With the trade deadline in the rearview mirror, any upgrades or additions that the Pittsburgh Pirates want to make are going to require a bit of creativity or dumb luck. Gone are the days of waiver wire trades, and if we have learned anything from the Pirates' handling of Bubba Chandler, they aren't going to bring up anyone from the minor leagues until they absolutely have to. With Pittsburgh's bullpen somewhat depleted and the Pirates flipping Taylor Rogers, it looks like they chose to take advantage of the Dodgers' roster crunch to add an arm.
