Pittsburgh Pirates: Jacob Stallings Could Become an Underrated Trade Piece

When we talk about the Pittsburgh Pirates most valuable trade pieces, usually you hear Josh Bell, Adam Frazier, and Keone Kela. They currently hold the most value in a trade. But one guy who could become one of the Pirates’ more underrated trade pieces is catcher Jacob Stallings.

A catcher with his defensive value is not easy to come by. It’s easy to come by good defensive catchers, but it’s hard to come by outstanding defensive catchers, something that Stallings is. The 30-year-old started the 2019 season as a second catcher to Francisco Cervelli and Elias Diaz.
