The Seattle Mariners are looking for pitching and the Pittsburgh Pirates are looking to tank and cut payroll. Turns out there’s a perfect trade for both sides.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are possibly going to go through a similar offseason to the Seattle Mariners in 2018, as they just traded their star first baseman Josh Bell to the Washington Nationals.
