The Pittsburgh Pirates had been setting themselves up to be buyers at the trade deadline, and well before the cutoff of team-to-team transactions on Monday evening.
On Saturday afternoon, the Pirates acquired Camilo Doval from the New York Yankees in exchange for a pair of prospects.
This is now Doval's second time in as many years being traded to a new team ahead of the deadline. Even though the pitcher has bounced around the league, Doval's focus is just trying to control what he can.
"In this game, things like that are gonna happen; just getting traded, "said Doval through his interpreter on Sunday.
"The way I see it is just to control the stuff, the things that I can control, and that's gonna happen. Some people are going to make decisions, and I just have to do my job, control myself."
