MLB Trade Rumors: Pirates Listening on Deals for All-Stars David Bednar, Mitch Keller

The Pittsburgh Pirates are reportedly planning on listening to offers for All-Star closer David Bednar ahead of the MLB trade deadline on Aug. 1, according to the New York Post's Jon Heyman.

Heyman reported that the organization knows that it'll be difficult to deal for the 28-year-old since he is signed through 2027 season. So, the asking price from the Pirates will likely be very high.

The team will also taking calls about starting pitcher Mitch Keller, per Heyman.

Bednar just made his second All-Star game appearance and will be an automatic upgrade to any team's bullpen if they are able to acquire him.
