Falter was the only starting pitcher the Pirates traded, keeping right-handed pitchers in All-Star Paul Skenes, veteran Mitch Keller and rookie Mike Burrows. They also kept left-handed pitcher Andrew Heaney, who is on an expiring contract.

Several players from the Pittsburgh Pirates were moved during Major League Baseball's trade deadline on July 31. Numerous players, including one of the team's most popular players, were traded away in a hectic day.

With the Yankees needing help in the bullpen, the team will get David Bednar in a trade with the Pirates before the 2025 deadline.
