The Pittsburgh Pirates have bolstered their bullpen by acquiring reliever Luke Weaver from the New York Mets in exchange for infielder Sammy Stafura. Weaver, who posted a 1.84 ERA with 45 strikeouts over 44 innings, could serve as a closer option and is signed through 2027. Stafura, ranked as the Pirates’ ninth-best prospect, has potential as a utility infielder despite some concerns about his plate discipline. The Pirates are also exploring further bullpen additions, including Padres reliever Adrian Morejon.
