The Pittsburgh Pirates have been named a potential trade destination for San Francisco Giants star Rafael Devers. Despite sitting at.500 with a 37-37 record, the Pirates may look to upgrade their lineup. While adding Devers would bolster their offense significantly, the high cost of his contract makes this scenario unlikely. Current performances show Devers struggling, but he would still be an improvement over the Pirates' current designated hitter, Marcell Ozuna. Discussions around Devers suggest the Giants are open to trades involving the player this season.
