Pirates Trade Up for Gonzalez and Eisert | Pittsburgh Pirates News
Description
Pirates pull off a savvy trade before the draft, sending their 34th pick and pitcher Jaden Woods to the White Sox for infielder Jacob Gonzalez and lefty reliever Brandon Eisert. GM Ben Cherington sees Gonzalez as a key depth piece at shortstop and first base, especially with Konnor Griffin sidelined, while Eisert brings much-needed lefty bullpen firepower. Gonzalez, a top White Sox prospect now ranked 14th in the Pirates’ system, shows elite potential, and Eisert’s strong stats this season make him a perfect fit. This move signals Pittsburgh’s focus on building now — not selling.
