Pirates Rumors: Pittsburgh talked Jared Jones trade with familiar partner at Winter Meetings

Title: Share on Facebook The Pittsburgh Pirates are exploring trade options for starting pitcher Jared Jones during the 2024 MLB Winter Meetings. The Boston Red Sox have shown interest in acquiring Jones, as reported by Alex Speier of the Boston Globe. The seriousness of trade discussions between the Pirates and Red Sox regarding Jones remains uncertain. The Red Sox have addressed some of their starting pitching needs by trading for Garrett Crochet and signing Patrick Sandoval and Walker Buehler. Despite their recent acquisitions, the Red Sox may still pursue Jones if he is available. The Pirates are hesitant to trade Jones, especially after losing another starter, Luis Ortiz, in a recent trade. A compelling offer from the Red Sox would likely need to include first baseman Triston Casas or one of their top prospects: Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer, or Kristian Campbell. The Pirates seek to acquire controllable players in return for Jones, reflecting their cost-conscious approach. Historical context shows that the Pirates and Red Sox have previously engaged in trades involving young talents. A potential trade involving Jones could mirror past exchanges, benefiting both teams by addressing their specific needs.
