You may have heard,the Pittsburgh Pirates are allegedly open to trading Keone Kela. A sub-.500 team being open to trading a reliever who hasn’t really contributed much this season is generally not surprising. But in this scenario, there is more to it than meets the eye. Kela, who was put on the 60 day IL back on May 6th for right elbow inflammation, was only activated from the IL on 7/23/19. He was then suspended for an unstated “violation of Uniform Player’s Contract” (link if you’d like to read it) - and the Pirates have been very tight lipped as to the circumstances.
Buy Low: Keone Kela?
