One of the best trades Pittsburgh Pirates General Manager Neal Huntington has made in recent years came back in 2017. The team was out of the playoff hunt and decided to deal away some of their pending free agents. At the time the trade did not catch any national headlines, it has quickly turned into a steal for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
On July 31st, 2017, the Pittsburgh Pirates traded veteran left-handed reliever Tony Watson to the Los Angeles Dodgers for two young prospects by the names of Oneil Cruz and Angel German.
