Pirates Trade for Power and Potential | MLB News
Description
The Pirates just pulled off a slick trade, acquiring power-hitting infielder Jacob Gonzalez and lefty pitcher Brandon Eisert from the White Sox in exchange for a 2026 draft pick and Jaden Woods. Gonzalez, a former first-round pick making his MLB debut, dominated Triple-A with 19 homers and elite power metrics, while Eisert offers solid bullpen upside despite a rough ERA. To make room, the Pirates sent down Thomas Harrington and Jack Brannigan, and added Noah Murdock for the doubleheader. With Gonzalez’s versatility and Eisert’s upside, this move injects serious depth and future potential into Pittsburgh’s roster.
