A former Pirates prospect was recently released, giving them the opportunity to redeem a bad trade.
One trade the Pittsburgh Pirates made at the 2024 trade deadline was acquiring outfielder Bryan De La Cruz from the Miami Marlins. The trade looks like an ultimate lose-lose for both organizations involved. However, with the Marlins recently releasing Jun-Seok Shim, one of the two prospects the Bucs sent to Miami for De La Cruz, the Pirates now have an opportunity to recuperate some of their losses by giving Shim another chance.
