Pirates Acquire Ken Brett To Bolster Pitching
The Pittsburgh Pirates traded second baseman Dave Cash to the Philadelphia Phillies for pitcher Ken Brett. Brett went 12-9 with a 3.49 ERA last year and is a strong hitting pitcher hitter. Cash batted .271 with two homers and 31 RBIs. Pirates Manager Danny Murtaugh said the move addresses their pitching depth as they shape a thinner staff.
