Pirates third baseman David Freese was dealt to the Dodgers just prior to Friday's deadline, according to an official announcement. Freese was riding out the last leg of a two-year, $11 million contract he signed with the Pirates back in August 2016, and was due $4.25 million in 2018 with a $6 million club option (and $500,000 buyout) for 2019. The 35-year-old has been one of the most stable producers on the Pirates' roster all season and entered September slashing .282/.336/.444 with nine home runs and a .780 OPS through 265 plate appearances.
