Pirates Secure LHP Marco Gonzales in Trade with Braves

The Pittsburgh Pirates have acquired left-handed starter Marco Gonzales in a trade with the Atlanta Braves, adding a veteran presence to their rotation. The deal involves the Braves sending cash along with Gonzales to Pittsburgh for a player to be named later. Despite starting only 10 games this year due to surgery, Gonzales has been a reliable innings-eater in previous seasons. The trade allows the Braves to shed Gonzales' $12 million contract from their payroll. The Pirates, who finished with a 76-86 record, have promising pitching prospects on the horizon as well.

While his strikeout numbers are not impressive, his overall slash line against hitters is manageable. With the Braves' rotation depth issues, Gonzales could be a valuable asset if he remains healthy.
