Joey Bart Sparks Trade Rumors

Pirates catcher Joey Bart is attracting trade interest from teams seeking a left-handed bench bat, especially against southpaws, with potential fits including the Royals, Padres, Rays, and Mets. His recent strong performance against lefties and remaining team control through 2027 make him a valuable asset, though the Pirates face a decision on whether to trade him or hold onto him for his potential upside.
