Daniel Vogelbach for WHAT???

On July 22nd, 2022, it was announced that Daniel Vogelbach would be traded to the New York Mets to make a playoff run. In return, the Pirates acquired the fire-throwing reliever Colin Holderman, who recorded a impressive 4-0 record with a 2.04 ERA while with the Mets. He struggled in his start with the Pirates but sat the rest of the season to not get hurt. In 2023, he has emerged as one of the best relievers, throwing 47 innings with an ERA of 3.06, but has been dominant, throwing a peak of 101 MPH.
