First Pitch: The Pirates Are Quiet Heading into the MLB Trade Deadline

The MLB Trade Deadline is Tuesday, July 30th at 6:00 PM EST.

On Saturday, some of the biggest hitters went off the board, led by the Jazz Chisholm Jr. trade to the New York Yankees. Chisholm would have made a lot of sense for the Pittsburgh Pirates, as a guy who can play center field with plenty of offensive potential, and control through the 2026 season.

Based on the return that the Marlins got from the Yankees, a trade from the Pirates would have likely needed to include Termarr Johnson. The Marlins got three position players back in the deal, and the headliner of the trade had similar value to Johnson.
