Pirates land Gonzalez and Eisert for Woods and No. 34 pick
The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired infielder Jacob Gonzalez and left-handed reliever Brandon Eisert from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for left-hander Jaden Woods and the No. 34 overall pick (Competitive Balance Round A), boosting Pittsburgh’s left-side infield depth and bullpen while Chicago adds a valuable draft asset; Gonzalez showed offensive upside this season and Eisert has been a strikeout-oriented bullpen arm, whereas Woods is a young reliever with control questions.
