Pirates Add Luke Weaver, Kirby Yates in Deadline Bullpen Overhaul

The Pittsburgh Pirates waited until the final hours of the MLB trade deadline before completely overhauling their bullpen.

DiNardo, Tyler and Jim react live to the additions of Luke Weaver, Kirby Yates and Lake Bachar, joining the recently acquired Camilo Doval. They break down what each reliever brings, the surprisingly light prospect cost and how the new-look bullpen could be deployed down the stretch.

The Pirates undoubtedly improved, but did Ben Cherington do enough? No hitter was added to address the team’s struggles against left-handed pitching, no starting pitcher arrived and the news of Mitch Keller’s season-ending injury dropped during the show.

The crew grades the deadline and discusses whether these moves can push the Pirates into the postseason.
