Per Robert Murray of FanSided.com, the Pittsburgh Pirates are buying and selling away pitcher Jose Urquidy to the Chicago White Sox.
It’s unclear what the Pirates are getting in return, however one can assume it’s both a low-level prospect, money, or a participant to be named later.
MLBTR.com’s Mark Polishuk wrote (about Urquidy’s 2026 season):
“Urquidy has an 8.53 ERA over 6 1/3 aid innings this season, and the righty hasn’t pitched in an enormous league sport since April 13. The Pirates signed Urquidy to a one-year, $1.5MM free agent deal in February, however his tough begin earned him to a ticket to Triple-A, with Urquidy having to personally okay the demotion since he has over six years of MLB service time.”
On July 24, the Pirates designated Jose Urquidy for task, and earlier than clearing waivers, he was traded as a substitute of being both outrighted or launched.
