Pirates 2018 Trade Deadline

Every Pirates trade in the two weeks around the deadline

Tampa Bay Rays traded RHP Chris Archer to Pittsburgh Pirates for RHP Tyler Glasnow, CF Austin Meadows and Player To Be Named Later. Baz was the player to be named later, sent to Tampa Bay that October.

July 31Deadline DayTexas Rangers
Pirates got

Texas Rangers traded RHP Keone Kela to Pittsburgh Pirates for Taylor Hearn and Player To Be Named Later. Apostel was the player to be named later, sent to Texas that November.

Trades made between 2018-07-17 and 2018-08-03 — the two weeks leading into the 2018deadline, 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.
