PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates decided that they're going for it this season and have made their first big trade of the season.The Pirates landed two players from the Chicago White Sox, infielder Jacob Gonzales and left-handed relief pitcher Brandon Eisert, in exchange for the 34th overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft and left-handed relief pitcher prospect Jaden Woods.Pittsburgh can make this big trade, which they were reportedly considering before the draft, as it is a Competitive Balance pick, which are the only draft picks teams can actually move.It has a slot value of $2,897,400 and comes six selections after the end of the first round, making it a valuable pick.The Pirates add a crucial left-handed arm for their bullpen in Eisert, who hasn't posted the best ERA (5.93), but is someone they can add immediately and give them three southpaws.Gonzalez was the White Sox's first round selection in 2023 (15th overall) and has slashed .244/.323/.360 for an OPS of .683 in 30 games at the major league level this season. He played mostly first base with the White Sox, but his primary position is shortstop and also second base.The Pirates need infield depth after shortstop Konnor Griffin suffered another injury, this time to his left hand, that will keep him out for two months. Woods was one of the top left-handed pitching prospects in the Pirates system and comes as a sort of replacement for Eisert.
