The rebuild of the Pittsburgh Pirates, led by General Manager Ben Cherington, continued on Monday night. The move made on Monday that continued this rebuild was the Pirates trading starting pitcher Joe Musgrove to the San Diego Padres in a three team trade with the New York Mets. In return, the Pirates received five players.
This article will focus less on the impact this trade has on the team, and more on thanking Big Joe for his time with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
