The Pittsburgh Pirates are acquiring left-handed starter Marco Gonzales in a trade from the Atlanta Braves, sources tell ESPN. The Braves will send cash to the Pirates and receive a player to be named later.

This deal would appear to be all about the money, as Gonzales is owed $12 million this season and can be a useful player, but is not the impact starter that the Braves would like with the state of their roster.
