The Pittsburgh Pirates were silent at this year’s trade deadline, and I want to give my final thoughts on their decision to stay put despite having pieces to sell.
The Pittsburgh Pirates were pretty much completely silent at the trade deadline. They did not make a single trade the day of the deadline, which is pretty surprising as they looked like one of the only sellers in the National League.
