We’re only a few days away from the 2020 MLB trade deadline. With that in mind, today, we will take a look back at the last three trade deadlines for the Pittsburgh Pirates

The 2020 MLB trade deadline is going to be one like we’ve never seen before. This time around, there will be very few actual sellers. Because of teams like the Miami Marlins, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, and Baltimore Orioles all having better seasons than expected, the Pittsburgh Pirates are probably the only true sellers in the National League. As well as being one of the few true sellers in MLB.

Players such as Derek Holland, Adam Frazier, Trevor Williams, Richard Rodriguez, and potentially Keone Kela will be discussed in trade talks in the coming days. Players such as Bryan Reynolds and Josh Bell could potentially be discussed as well. The same goes for Chad Kuhl. All of that means stay tuned here at Rum Bunter in the coming days fir the breaking news!

With the deadline approaching, let’s go back and look at the last few deadlines for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Where are some of the players they traded for, and where are some of the players that they traded away now?
