According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Pirates recently expressed some interest in trading for Mets reliever Huascar Brazobán. Brazobán, 36, is a good fit for a team whose deadline moves will reportedly be limited by payroll considerations. The Pirates are not completely unwilling to absorb salary, but it isn’t clear how much Cherington will be able to take on. If the Pirates were to acquire him on August 3, they would only owe him about $300k for the rest of the year. Meanwhile, his low salary and years of control make him a smart target for a borderline contender and low spender like the Pirates.
