The Pirates have a 36-50 record and are unlikely to contend this season, making them sellers during the trade deadline. Their roster includes young talents like ace Paul Skenes, alongside aging veterans and players with long-term contracts. Despite their struggles, there's potential for trades as they seek to improve. Mitch Keller is highlighted as a reliable mid-rotation pitcher with a good season, while other veterans may also be available for teams looking to buy at the deadline.
The Pirates should once again enter trade deadline season as sellers, hoping to add some tools to finally turn that elusive corner in the coming years.
Their roster features an odd combination of supreme young talent, aging veterans, and some players locked into long-term contracts - though that does not mean there are no deals to be had for buying teams out there.
The headliner for this entire roster is their ace, 23-year-old phenom Paul Skenes, the graduated top prospect and 2024 National League Rookie of the Year.
29-year-old Mitch Keller is a dependable mid-rotation guy, who's actually having a career year despite the unsightly 2-10 record, managing a 3.90 ERA and 3.33 FIP.
