## Resource

The Pirates are eyeing a bullpen upgrade before the trade deadline, with Aroldis Chapman—their former ace—surfacing as a tantalizing but unlikely target. Chapman’s been elite for the struggling Red Sox, posting a stellar ERA and zero home runs allowed, but his $13 million salary and looming contract make him financially out of reach for Pittsburgh. While Cherington’s chasing big names, the reality is he’ll likely pivot to cheaper, controllable arms—maybe even within Boston’s own roster. Chapman’s a dream, but the Pirates’ budget won’t let him back into the black and gold.
