Pirates seek trade for Yankees reliever Camilo Doval

The Pittsburgh Pirates have expressed interest in acquiring right‑hander Camilo Doval from the New York Yankees as the trade deadline approaches. The Pirates would likely require the Yankees to retain a portion of Doval’s $6.1 million salary for the 2025 season, a condition that aligns with Pittsburgh’s recent efforts to upgrade its roster without substantially increasing payroll.

Doval, who posted strong numbers with the San Francisco Giants—including a sub‑3.00 ERA and a league‑leading 39 saves in 2023—has struggled since joining the Yankees, recording a 4.85 ERA over 63 appearances. He has one year left on his contract before becoming a free agent in 2029. Yankees manager Aaron Boone has indicated that no decision has been made to move the pitcher, emphasizing the team’s willingness to retain him if a satisfactory return is offered.
