Pittsburgh Pirates have acquired right-handed reliever Camilo Doval from the New York Yankees, according to an AP source. The deal aims to strengthen the Pirates' bullpen, which has struggled this season. Doval, a former All-Star, brings experience and a reliable arm to the Pirates' pitching staff.
The Yankees are sending Doval to Pittsburgh in exchange for a player to be named later. Doval has pitched in 14 games this season, posting a 4.50 ERA. His addition is expected to provide depth and stability to the Pirates' relief corps.
Doval, 32, has spent the majority of his career with the Yankees, appearing in 185 games over six seasons. He has a career 3.68 ERA and has been a key contributor in high-leverage situations. The Pirates hope his presence will help them compete in the competitive NL Central.
The trade was confirmed by both teams, with the Pirates looking to improve their pitching depth ahead of the trade deadline. (winnipegfreepress.com)
