Cannot imagine they trade Bednar. He is a great closer and is not a free agent until 2027. Trading him would be insane. PLus Chapman is not closer caliber anymore. A very curious move...The Pittsburgh Pirates stunned the baseball world, including their own fan base, by agreeing to a one-year, $10.5 million contract with left-handed reliever Aroldis Chapman on Monday.
Speculation is this may result in a trade possibly sending Bednar to another team. The 1 year deal actually makes Chapman the highest paid Pirate.
I agree. Bednar is a local boy and the most popular Pirate not named Cutch. The Pirates would have to get a lot in return for it to make sense for the franchise.Cannot imagine they trade Bednar. He is a great closer and is not a free agent until 2027. Trading him would be insane. PLus Chapman is not closer caliber anymore. A very curious move...
