The Pittsburgh Pirates continue making moves this offseason, including looking for players on other teams. Robert Murray of FanSided reported that

“The Pittsburgh Pirates are acquiring right-hander Chase Shugart in a trade with the Boston Red Sox for right-hander Matt McShane, according to sources familiar with the deal. Shugart was recently designated for assignment by the Red Sox,” Murray wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

The Red Sox and Pirates have been frequent trade partners in the last year. Last July, the Sox sent infielder Nick Yorke to Pittsburgh in exchange for starting pitcher Quinn Priester. More recently, the Sox sent infielder Enmanuel Valdez to the Pirates in December and obtained reliever Joe Vogatsky.

The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired right-handed relief pitcher Chase Shugart from the Red Sox on Friday, a source confirmed to TribLive. In exchange, the Pirates sent fellow righty Matt McShane to Boston.

Now, on Friday, the Red Sox have agreed to trade Shugart to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for right-handed pitcher Matt McShane, according to FanSided's Robert Murray. Shugar
