The Pirates' Pitching Factory Has a Problem

The Pirates have traded starting pitching to make their biggest offseason moves two winters in a row. But is that strategy running out of steam?

On today’s OffBeat, Alex Stumpf examines whether Pittsburgh still has the pitching depth to pull off another significant trade. Mitch Keller and Carmen Mlodzinski could be options, but what would moving either mean for the rotation?

Alex also breaks down the next wave of pitchers, including Khristian Curtis, Hunter Barco, Wilber Dotel and Antwone Kelly, and whether any could bring back the kind of return Pittsburgh has gotten in previous deals.
