The one headliner the Pirates must avoid in a Mitch Keller trade

Related Topics: Pittsburgh Pirates, Mitch Keller

The Pittsburgh Pirates could move right-hander Mitch Keller at the trade deadline, regardless of how poor of a decision that may be. One team reportedly interested in Keller is the Chicago Cubs, and if Bob Nightengale’s reporting is accurate, they are willing to go to great lengths to acquire Keller. The Cubs are reportedly open to offering up top outfield prospect Owen Caissie. On the surface, Caissie may look like the sort of batter the Pirates need, but there are way too many red flags to make this an acceptable return for anyone, especially Mitch Keller.
