The @pirates acquire Gaby Sanchez & Kyle Kaminska from the @marlins for Gorkys Hernandez & 2013 Competitive Balance Lottery pick. — Pittsburgh Pirates (@Pirates) July 31, 2012   News of this deal came out about an hour prior to the trade deadline as the Pirates acquired 28-year old first baseman Gaby Sanchez and 23-year old righty reliever Kyle Kaminska from the Marlins in exchange for Gorkys Hernandez and a competitive balance pick (Tentatively, 33rd overall pick next year). Sanchez is obviously the headliner of the deal as he entered 2012 with decent numbers hitting 19 homers in each of his past two seasons, sporting a career line of .269/.346/.440. But this season, he got off to a very rocky start and was optioned to Triple-A after starting the year hitting .202/.250/.306 over 196 plate appearances. It seems like Sanchez is going to take over the right-handed first base role in a Jones/Sanchez platoon against tough lefties. If he gets back to his career norm, this is a pr...

Pirates Take Calculated Risk In Acquiring Sanchez

The Pittsburgh Pirates have built up a pretty good farm system under Neal Huntington’s watch. Our own Marc Hulet ranked them ninth before the season, and over at ESPN, Keith Law ranked them eighth.

Welcome to Pittsburgh Gaby Sanchez and Chad Qualls

Last year's trade deadline all of a sudden looks tame. Neal Huntington went nuts over the past day acquiring pieces to potentially improve the Pittsburgh Pirates. The key word in that statement in potentially. It is no secret what the front office was trying to do. They weren't renting players like they did last year for an ultimately futile run. They made...

It looks like Neal Huntington pulled off one last move before the trade deadline. He shipped Gorkys Hernandez and a draft pick to Miami for 1B Gaby Sanchez and reliever Kyle Kaminska. Just like the Travis Snider move from earlier, this was a decent move but it’s not going to be the difference between the Pirates finishing over .500 and making the playoffs. But with the prices...
