In some late MLB trade deadline action, the Padres and Pirates agreed to a deal that will send veteran starting pitcher Rich Hill and first baseman Ji-Man Choi to San Diego, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
In exchange for the duo, Pittsburgh is set to receive a package of prospects headlined by left-handed pitcher Jackson Wolf, who ranks as the Padres’ No. 16 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. Also joining the Pirates’ farm system will be Estuar Suero, a 17-year-old outfield prospect, and minor-league first baseman Alfonso Rivas, per MLB.com.
