Up against the trade deadline, the Pittsburgh Pirates pieced together a surprise trade with the Red Sox to add depth.

The Pittsburgh Pirates traded left-handed relief pitcher Austin Davis to the American League East Division leading Boston Red Sox for utility man Michael Chavis. The trade was announced around 30 minutes after the 4:00 PM ET trade deadline passed and came with news of another Pirates trade too.

Davis was with three teams in 2020, one of those being the Pittsburgh Pirates.
