The trade deadline is at 6 p.m. on Thursday. Track the Pirates' 2025 MLB trade deadline moves below. Hometown closer David Bednar could be on the move, and reports say he could fetch a top-five prospect in return.

Two Pittsburgh Pirates pitchers — relief pitcher David Bendar and starter Mitch Keller — are getting a lot of interest as the deadline approaches. But the Pirates might need to be blown away with trade offers for either pitcher, and one in particular might not be moved at all.

With the New York Yankees' bullpen devolving into an increasingly unreliable dumpster fire, Brian Cashman should acquiesce and pay the high cost of acquiring Pittsburgh Pirates closer David Bednar with this trade package.
