"We're actually gonna bring him to Florida initially and kind of spend a few days with him there and look at the delivery and see if there's opportunities. You know, his walk rates have been a little bit high and see if there's opportunities there. "Just a chance to get a guy, a still relatively young guy with big stuff and a big fastball that we've had some success in the past, hoping guys get in the zone a little bit more, and that'll be the goal."Trades Pirates Made at the DeadlineThe Pirates first added Doval two days prior, but they made three other trades outside of Moore on the trade deadline day.Pittsburgh added thee right-handed relief pitchers in Luke Weaver from the New York Mets, Kirby Yates from the Los Angeles Angels and Lake Bachar from the Miami Marlins.Jul 21, 2026; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA; New York Mets relief pitcher Luke Weaver (30) delivers a pitch against the Milwaukee Brewers in the seventh inning at American Family Field.
