## Resource

The Pirates’ bullpen is in shambles—blowing twelve saves already this season—and they’re desperate for help before the trade deadline. Aroldis Chapman, their former pitcher now thriving with the Red Sox, is the top target. Despite his age and declining velocity, Chapman’s elite stuff and low ERA make him a game-changer. The catch? Boston won’t give him up cheap—Pittsburgh would likely need to surrender two top prospects. But with their offense and starters firing on all cylinders, this risky, high-reward trade could be the move that turns their season around.
