It’s all hands on deck for Bryan de la Cruz.
With an eye on a playoff push, the Pittsburgh Pirates acquired two new bats ahead of Tuesday’s MLB trade deadline, including the 27-year-old Dominican professional baseball outfielder.
de la Cruz was acquired alongside utility player Isiah Kiner-Falefa from the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday.
de la Cruz led the Miami Marlins with 18 home runs and 51 RBIs while batting .245 in 105 games this season. He is one homer away from tying his career high set last year.
In 431 career games for Miami since debuting in 2021, De La Cruz has batted .258 with 55 homers and 191 RBIs.
