Per Robert Murray of FanSided.com, the Pittsburgh Pirates are trading away pitcher Jose Urquidy to the Chicago White Sox.
MLBTR.com’s Mark Polishuk wrote (about Urquidy’s 2026 season):
“Urquidy has an 8.53 ERA over 6 1/3 relief innings this season, and the righty hasnât pitched in a big league game since April 13. The Pirates signed Urquidy to a one-year, $1.5MM free agent deal in February, but his rough start 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.”
