If the Pirates were going to make a splash at the 2024 MLB Trade Deadline, my preference would have been for them to acquire Jazz Chisholm Jr. The New York Yankees ended up landing Chisholm, in a deal that likely would have cost the Pirates at least one top prospect like Termarr Johnson.
The Pirates ended up making several smaller deals, saving their top prospects in the process, while increasing their depth of options on offense.
Outfielder Bryan De La Cruz and utility infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa were the biggest additions to the offense.
