The 4 p.m. MLB trade deadline came and went but the Pirates and Braves were still making deals.
The Pirates have acquired two right-handed pitchers Ricky DeVito and Bryse Wilson from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for closer Richard Rodriguez.
The 31-year-old Rodriguez is 4-2 this season with a 2.82 ERA and 14 saves. Davis is 0-1 with a 5.59 ERA in 9.2 innings.
Let’s take a quick look at what the Braves gave up:
DeVito:
A nearly 23-year old who was drafted by the Braves in the 8th round of the 2019 draft. He played for the Rome Braves (Atlanta’s High-A affiliate) with a 0-3 record in five starts with an ERA of 2.66. He is currently on the 7-day injured list.
Wilson:
A 23-year-old drafted in the 4th round of the 2016 MLB Draft. Wilson has made seven starts for the Braves in 2021 and has gone 2-3 with an ERA of 4.83. Pirates General Manager Ben Cherington says Wilson will be activated and available for Saturday’s game.
