PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Pirates will sell at the MLB Trade Deadline, with some of their best assets their long-term contracted players. Pirates right-handed starting pitcher Mitch Keller has received considerable interest from across the MLB and is one of the top trade targets at his position, thanks to his play and contract.

Although it was expected they would trade him to free up payroll space, new reports suggest they might keep him. With the trade deadline approaching, this decision could impact the team's future.

Pirates pitcher Mitch Keller is regarded as one of the top players available in the pitching market. That may no longer be the case.
