## Resource

The Pirates are surging with a 34-29 record and third-most wins in the NL, thanks to a hot offense, but they’re still looking for bullpen help and defensive upgrades. With the trade deadline still two months away, Aroldis Chapman—once a Pirate and now a dominant closer for the struggling Red Sox—is a name buzzing in trade circles. At 38, Chapman’s still firing 100+ mph and owns a 1.01 ERA since 2025. The Red Sox, nine games under .500, may be sellers, and Chapman’s mutual option for 2027 makes him a long-term fix. Adding a lefty like him could give Pittsburgh the edge it needs to make a deep run. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
