The New York Yankees weren't the only team to be met with starting pitcher sticker shock at the 2025 MLB Trade Deadline, but they might have the best story of survival. The Pirates didn't trade Mitch Keller, and also didn't do much of anything at all. They did offload Charlie Morton, taking advantage of his 2.88 ERA in June, but all they received in return was minor-league reliever Micah Ashman. And "blockbuster" is what the Orioles were trying to build when they were talking Morton trade with their AL East rivals, the Yankees. An all-time trade deadline flop.
