Pirates' trade deadline strategy questioned

Critics argue the Pirates over-invested in bullpen arms (Weaver, Yates, Bachar) while ignoring lineup injuries to O'Hearn and Griffin, raising concerns about offensive depth for the playoff push. New reporting shows the team also explored a trade for Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman, and post-deadline they released Marcell Ozuna and called up Ronny Simon to address lineup depth.
