While the Pittsburgh Pirates continue to struggle night in and night out, it continues to confirm that the team should have traded off all of their pending free agents. Instead, the team sits here with Melky Cabrera and Francisco Liriano contributing to a bad team.
Now they did trade a few of their soon to be free agents in Corey Dickerson and Jordan Lyles. While the Pittsburgh Pirates received a player to be named later for Dickerson, they did acquire a prospect from the Milwaukee Brewers. The Brewers sent right-handed pitching prospect Cody Ponce in exchange for Lyles.
