The Pittsburgh Pirates are on the brink of a playoff run, just one game behind a wild card spot, and are poised to make bold moves before the August 3 trade deadline—especially targeting bullpen upgrades. With a rising young rotation led by Cy Young winner Paul Skenes and All-Star Braxton Ashcraft, and a potent offense that’s turned heads, GM Ben Cherington is working nonstop to shore up weaknesses. Smart offseason additions like Ryan O’Hearn and Brandon Lowe have already paid dividends. Rival insiders are already calling their rotation “for real” and their offense unstoppable—but the bullpen remains the key. If they can fix that before the deadline, this could be the Pirates’ first postseason berth in over a decade.
