It is time to examine how the Pirates did during the trading deadline.
The Pirates came into the deadline with a load of prospects, and needs in the bullpen, first base, and a need for more power.The late injury to Jordy Mercer also made a need for depth on that side of the infield as well.
Ultimately no matter what happens the rest of the way the Pirates did great because they kept all their prospects giving up a very small amount for all the return.This is a win for a small market club.
They quickly addressed the left side of the infield with Armaris Ramirez, which makes a feel good story, and it cost us a long shot bullpen candidate.
