The Pittsburgh Pirates are expected to retain their top prospect, Seth Hernandez, despite interest in him as a trade option for San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller. The Pirates seek to improve their bullpen before the upcoming trade deadline. Hernandez has impressed with a 0.96 ERA and 50 strikeouts over six starts in Single-A Bradenton. The organization is hesitant to part with the 20-year-old, who was the sixth overall pick in last year's draft. Reports suggest the Pirates would only consider moving Hernandez for a major league-ready player in return.
