Two of the Pittsburgh Pirates' top pitchers could be available via trade this offseason.
The Pittsburgh Pirates haven't been bashful about their willingness to use their pitching depth to acquire proven hitting.
Keller is entering the second year of a five-year $77 million contract extension he signed in February of this year. Keller, 28, went 11-12 with a 4.25 ERA over 31 starts and struck out 166 batters over his 178 innings pitched. There was a significant disparity between his first and second-half performance for a second straight season, as he went 10-5 with a 3.46 ERA in the first half then 1-7 with a 5.65 ERA after the All-Star break.
Hiles and Destin also noted that Pittsburgh's stance could change in the aftermath of the Ortiz trade. Still, the thought of Jones potentially being "very available" for trade is surprising to say the least.
