Pirates may consider trading veterans this offseason as roster evolves

As the Pittsburgh Pirates prepare for the offseason, they are expected to explore trade options for several veteran players in an effort to enhance the roster after finishing the 2026 season with an 82-80 record. General manager Ben Cherington is evaluating the potential trade of RHP Mitch Keller, who struggled with a 5.29 ERA and an injury-prone season. Other players under trade consideration include RHP Carmen Mlodzinski, who expressed a desire for a starting role, and INF Nick Gonzales, coming off a strong offensive showing but poor defensive performance. The team’s future lineup could significantly shift based on offseason decisions regarding these players.
