Mitch Keller is one of the biggest starting pitcher names on the trade market heading toward the MLB deadline. That sets the Pittsburgh Pirates' right-hander up for a very unusual Monday night. You see, Keller is the starting pitcher for the Pirates in San Francisco in a game that will start at 9:45 p.m. on clocks in Pittsburgh.

Star? Boston needs a true No. 2 and Pittsburgh's Mitch Keller could be the perfect target at the trade deadline.

An All-Star selection in 2023, Keller is getting better as the season unfolds. The 29-year-old is performing like a front-line starter worthy of a spot in a playoff rotation, increasing his trade value in the process. It makes it all the more likely that Pittsburgh moves him at the MLB trade deadline.
