The 2023 MLB Trade Deadline has come and gone, several Pittsburgh Pirates come and go as well in the madness. 

With playoff expansion, and general parody across major league baseball this season it appeared to be yet again a favorable market for sellers like the Pittsburgh Pirates. Several teams like the Texas Rangers made it clear they were going all in this deadline to make a push for the AL crown. 

Headline moves did take place prior to August 1st’s infamous deadline hour, but overall the Pirates do not make any trades that would be in the realm of blockbuster. 

On this Rum Bunter Radio special the crew breaks down the big day and the moves Pittsburgh settled on with Philadelphia, San Diego and Texas. 

Should the club have moved more? Was the return appropriate for the trades that were made?

The crew reviews this decision and if the return matches the production the “Crew” is receiving in Carlos Santana.

While selling was not the plan this season for Pittsburgh, it appears to be a good year for it with many teams around the same win total. How drastic will the front office go this deadline? 

Open to trading Pittsburgh native and Pirates all-star David Bednar? Ace Mitch Keller who has found himself over the past two years? Standout backend reliever Colin Holderman? 

These questions will be answered by Ben Cherrington early next week, but as Jon Heyman’s tweet noted earlier this week, teams around the league are certainly asking about the Pirates’ top arms.
