Trade Details
PIRATES ADD RELIEVER GUILMET Friday, October 3, 2014
The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired pitcher Preston Guilmet from the Baltimore Orioles for cash.
What does it give the Pittsburgh Pirates?
A solid reliever with strikeout ability, look for Guilmet to help the Pirates' bullpen in 2015. He was stuck within a very strong 'pen in Baltimore but the 27-year old should get more opportunities in Pittsburgh.
What does it give the Baltimore Orioles?
The Orioles decided to designate Guilmet for assignment, mostly because of their quality depth in hard-throwing relievers. Therefore, they gave him an opportunity to better his situation with the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
Guilmet will enter '15 as a potential dark horse for holds (and maybe even saves) with Pittsburgh. His 12 strikeouts in 10.1 big-league innings in 2014 suggest he might be ready to break out.
