Pirates Open To Trading Prospects, CBR-A Draft Pick
The Pirates carry an even 38-38 record into today’s game with the Rockies, and Pittsburgh sits two games out of a wild card slot in the crowded NL playoff race. Since the Buccos haven’t had a winning season since 2018 and haven’t reached the playoffs since 2015, the team is looking to end both droughts […]

Rockies Release Andrew Knizner
