Pirates Eye Luke Weaver for Bullpen | MLB News

The Pirates are on the hunt for bullpen help before the trade deadline—and Luke Weaver, the Mets’ electric reliever, is at the top of their list.

Signed through 2027, he’s a plug-and-play upgrade for Pittsburgh’s shaky relief corps, capable of dominating the 7th or 8th inning and even handling multiple innings. The Pirates are even willing to trade their 34th overall pick to land him—serious business. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
