Pirates Not Committed To Trading Mitch Keller

  1. Very good. Save our one strength and buy some god damn bats in the offseason. Send our GM tied to a log up the river. Perfect offseason

  2. So, just for the lulz, I asked CoPilot about a Keller trade:

    >What could a trade package for Mitch Keller look like?

    >A trade package for Mitch Keller would need to reflect his high value: a durable, mid-rotation starter with a team-friendly contract through 2028. Teams like the Yankees, Mets, and Cubs are circling, and here are a few realistic proposals based on recent reports:

    >🗽 **Yankees Package (for Keller + 3B Ke’Bryan Hayes)**

    >INF Oswald Peraza (MLB-ready, elite glove)

    >OF Everson Pereira (power bat, strong arm)

    >LHP Brock Selvidge (rising Double-A prospect)

    >C/1B Edgleen Perez (breakout slugger)

    >💡 **Why it works:** Yankees fill two key holes without touching top prospects like Spencer Jones or Jasson Domínguez.

    >🧢**Mets Package**

    >INF Ronny Mauricio (young MLB infielder with upside)

    >1B/OF Ryan Clifford (No. 6 prospect, power bat)

    >SS Elian Peña (No. 8 prospect, high ceiling)

    >INF Colin Houck (No. 30 prospect, versatile)

    >💡 **Why it works:** Mets get rotation stability; Pirates get multiple young hitters to boost their offense.

    >🐻 **Cubs Package**

    >INF Jefferson Rojas (top infield prospect)

    >OF Kevin Alcantara (toolsy outfielder with upside)

    >💡 **Why it works:** Cubs add a controllable starter behind Imanaga and Boyd; Pirates get high minors talent.

    >📊**Pirates’ asking price:** They’re reportedly seeking MLB-ready hitters or high minors prospects, not just low-level lottery tickets. Keller’s contract ($15M–$20M annually through 2028) adds surplus value, so the return will be steep.
