Pirates Acquire Yuki Doval from Yankees Ahead of MLB Deadline

The Pirates received catcher Omar Alfonzo and outfielder Luis Cruz from the Yankees in exchange for Doval. Pittsburgh is in desperate need of relief arms and bought low on the hard-throwing Dominican right-hander, who struggled to a 4.63 ERA with New York. milkshakeslot.com

Doval was an All-Star with the Giants in 2023 but struggled with control and strikeouts since. The Yankees turned him into two prospects—Alfonzo, a top-20 Pirate, and 18-year-old Cruz—as they parted ways with a struggling arm.
