Pirates give bullpen a boost by acquiring Luke Weaver from the Mets, AP source says
The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired veteran right-hander Luke Weaver from the New York Mets in exchange for shortstop prospect Sammy Stafura to bolster their bullpen. Weaver, signed to a two-year, $22-million deal, is expected to strengthen the Pirates' playoff push after a recent 2-7 stretch. This marks the second major trade for Pittsburgh around the deadline, following the acquisition of reliever Camilo Doval from the Yankees.
