At the 2019 July trade deadline, the Pittsburgh Pirates were sitting at 47-61. They were clearly going to be sellers at the deadline, and so, with that, they traded right-handed pitcher Jordan Lyles to the Milwaukee Brewers. For a guy on a cheap one year deal, and an ERA above 5 (5.36), the Pirates were able to retrieve a solid prospect in return.
It was a one for one swap that saw the Brewers acquire Lyles and the Pirates receive right hander Cody Ponce in return. Ponce was drafted by the Brew Crew in the second round of the 2015 draft.
