Pirates 2016 Trade Deadline
Every Pirates trade in the two weeks around the deadline
Toronto Blue Jays traded RHP Drew Hutchison to Pittsburgh Pirates for LHP Francisco Liriano, RF Harold Ramirez and C Reese McGuire.
New York Yankees traded RHP Ivan Nova to Pittsburgh Pirates for Player To Be Named Later and Player To Be Named Later. Both players were named on August 30, 2016 to complete the deal. Corrected against Baseball-Reference — MLB’s log left part of this deal out.
Pittsburgh Pirates traded LHP Jonathon Niese to New York Mets for LHP Antonio Bastardo and cash.
Trades made between 2016-07-18 and 2016-08-04 — the two weeks leading into the 2016deadline, plus the days right after for late-posted completions. The deadline itself moves: it sat at a fixed July 31, 4 p.m. ET for decades, and the 2022 CBA both pushed the cutoff to 6 p.m. ET and let the league float the date anywhere from July 28 to Aug. 3. Sourced from MLB’s official transaction log, which carries trade records back to 2009; where MLB logged only one side of a deal, that’s noted on the card.
