Pirates GM Cherington believes deadline moves create options for 2026. In what way is uncertain
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates arrived at spring training six months ago stressing that it was time to win. They talked about urgency. They talked about internal improvements. They talked about returning to playoff contention for the first time in a decade. HT Image Then the talk stopped, and the games began. And the losses — both on and off the field — mounted. Quickly. And sometimes embarrassingly. Even the brilliance of superstar ace Paul Skenes and the fresh, no frills approach of manager Don Kelly — promoted after Derek Shelton was fired in May — couldn't stop the last-place club from being sellers at the trade deadline again. In the span of 24 hours, general manager Ben Cherington sent away former franchise cornerstones Ke'Bryan Hayes and David Bednar in exchange for prospects, most of whom are years away from reaching the majors, if they ever even get there. It's a pattern that has repeated itself over and over during Cherington's five-plus years on the job. Yet, unlike the early days of his top-to-bottom overhaul — when Cherington tore the major league roster down to the studs while accumulating as many bodies as he could to replenish the club's bereft minor-league system — it comes at a time when expectations both internally and externally are considerably higher. Yet Cherington believes his approach checked all three boxes required to help Pittsburgh win in 2026, saying the Pirates added a significant group of young players, most notably, catcher/first base prospect Rafael Flores, who has 16 homers between Double-A and Triple-A this season. The departure of Hayes at third base, Bednar, a two-time All-Star closer, and left-handed starter Bailey Falter will create opportunities for others down the stretch. Cherington also pointed out the expected exit of veterans currently on one-year deals — infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa, outfielder Tommy Pham and pitcher Andrew Heaney most notably — will create considerable financial flexibility as Pittsburgh tries to upgrade an offense currently mired near the bottom of the majors in most offensive categories. 'There's always more things like that that you want to do, so I feel really good about the things we did do,' Cherington said. 'I do believe we put ourselves in a stronger position going into August, September and the offseason.' Yet when pressed on what that fiscal flexibility might look like in practice for a team that regularly begins each season with among the bottom five clubs in terms of payroll, Cherington offered only vague answers. 'We'll be open-minded about free agency,' he said. "We've pursued legitimate major-league position players in the past here since I've been here and I'm sure we'll do it again. It's never going to be one thing that solves that issue and helps us figure out the offense that leads to a winning team. It's always going to be lots of things and a lot of that has to happen internally.' Therein lies one of Pittsburgh's biggest issues, for all of the success Cherington and his staff have had in identifying and developing young pitchers — there's a very real chance 22-year-old right-hander Bubba Chandler makes his major league debut later this summer — the results when it comes to position players is far more miss than hit. While 19-year-old shortstop/outfielder Konnor Griffin is currently considered perhaps the top prospect in all of baseball, he is currently in Class A. Termarr Johnson, a first-round pick in 2022, is having a solid but not exactly spectacular year at Double-A. They will both eventually be everyday players in Pittsburgh, but having that happen by next summer is a stretch. So it leaves the Pirates in a familiar place: playing out the string knowing exactly what they need to do to be better next year. Pittsburgh was in the same spot last summer, and Cherington's only significant moves during the offseason were to acquire first baseman Spencer Horwitz while taking one-year flyers on Pham and Adam Frazier, who has already been traded to Kansas City. The results have hardly been surprising. Horwitz has been steady (.252) since missing the first month-plus of the season due to a wrist injury, but the power Pittsburgh hoped would come along remains a work in progress. Pham has emerged from a massive funk to boost his average to .273. In a way, the Pirates' offense mirrors enigmatic centerfielder Oneil Cruz, who sometimes dazzles with his physical gifts but just as frequently draws attention for his inattentiveness. The inability to score runs has marred a remarkable season by the pitching staff. The Pirates entered Friday's game at Colorado in the top seven in the majors in ERA, led by Skenes and his major-league best 1.83 ERA. The 23-year-old is a Cy Young candidate despite entering the weekend with a 6-8 record. Just as importantly, Skenes has consistently said and done all the right things since the Pirates took him first overall in the 2023 draft. He brushed off the idea the club should trade him now with his value so high, saying simply 'anybody can play GM.' Yet his patience might already be wearing thin. Skenes — who will become arbitration eligible after 2026, which will likely mean a hefty raise — told the club's radio network over the weekend that while he thinks Pittsburgh is 'very close' to contending, it must 'consciously and intentionally make moves to get us better' at the deadline. Cherington — whose status beyond this season is uncertain as Pittsburgh eyes a sixth straight losing season on his watch — may have finally said the quiet part out loud late Thursday as the Pirates eye another pennant race going on without them. Yes, they'll have money to spend over the winter. Just don't expect a gold rush. '(Improving) in Pittsburgh is going to be a combination of taking chances, making bets on young players who are unproven," he said. 'And we've got to continue to do that and be right more often than we're not right on those.' The clock is ticking. In more ways than one. ___ AP MLB:

Some worry, others breathe a sigh of relief: How countries are responding to new US tariffs imposed by Trump administration
US President Donald Trump announced a fresh wave of tariffs on exports from dozens of trading partners. Trump's latest tariff move sent global stock markets tumbling and prompted countries and companies to scramble to find ways to strike better deals with Washington. The new tariffs announced by the Trump administration included Switzerland's 39 percent tariff, which saw the highest tariff rates since the early 1930s. It sought more talks, as did India, hit with a 25% rate. New tariffs also include a 35% duty on many goods from Canada, 50% for Brazil, and 20% for Taiwan, which said its rate was "temporary" and expected to reach a lower figure.

These tariffs are set to take effect next week and impact almost every country. While most nations are facing increased tariffs, a few are breathing a sigh of relief after securing last-minute deals. Trump's new tariff rates: Here's how some countries reacted Live Events New Zealand's Trade Minister Tom McClay called the increased tariffs unjustified after the country's exports to the US were hit with a 15% base rate, up from 10%, according to CNN. In Switzerland, the government expressed "great regret" over the US decision to impose 39% tariffs on Swiss imports, despite progress in bilateral talks and Switzerland's "very constructive stance." Australian Trade Minister Don Farrell praised the 10% tariff rate—the lowest announced by the White House—calling it a 'vindication' of how the government handled diplomacy with the US. Bangladesh called the outcome of its trade talks with the US a 'decisive diplomatic victory' after Trump announced a 20% tariff on Bangladeshi goods. The rate announced in April 2025 was 37 percent. Malaysia, which was at risk of a 24% tariff on its exports, was able to negotiate it down to 19%—a result its trade ministry described as a 'significant achievement.' Cambodia, after reaching a deal with the US, will now face a 19% tariff instead of the originally announced 49%. South Africa, facing the highest tariff rate at 30%, said discussions with the US will continue. President Cyril Ramaphosa stated that negotiations are the best path forward. Wall Street sell-off sparked by tariff onslaught Wall Street's main indexes led a global selloff on Friday as new U.S. tariffs on dozens of trading partners weighed on sentiment, while a weaker-than-expected payrolls report added to risk aversion. Just hours before the tariff deadline on Friday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order imposing duties on U.S. imports from countries including Canada, Brazil, India, and Taiwan, even as countries scrambled to seek ways to strike better deals. Data showed U.S. job growth slowed more than expected in July 2025, while the prior month's report was revised sharply lower, pointing to a sharp moderation in the labor market. U.S. stocks took an immediate hit. By early afternoon on Friday (August 1, 2025), the Dow Jones Industrial Average had dropped 0.96% to 43,708.00, the S&P 500 1.21% to 6,262.88, and the Nasdaq Composite 1.65% to 20,773.64. Markets were also reacting to a disappointing jobs report. Data showed U.S. job growth slowed more than expected in July, while the prior month's data was revised sharply lower, pointing to a slowdown in the labor market. Global shares stumbled, with Europe's STOXX 600 down 1.89% on the day and 2.5% on the week, on track for its biggest weekly drop since Trump announced his first major wave of tariffs on April 2. Trump's new tariffs have created yet more uncertainty, with many details unclear. They are set to take effect on Aug 7 at 0401 GMT, a White House official said. The European Union, which struck a framework deal with Trump, is still awaiting further Trump orders to deliver on agreed-upon carve-outs, including those for cars and aircraft, EU officials said, noting that the latest executive orders did not cover these areas.

'We need accurate numbers': Trump fires BLS chief Erika McEntarfer after weak July jobs report; claims 'Biden appointee' manipulated data
BLS commissioner Erika McEntarfer, left, and US President Donald Trump ( Image credits: X) US President Donald Trump on Friday dismissed bureau of labor statistics (BLS) commissioner Erika McEntarfer, just hours after the agency released a weaker-than-expected July jobs report. In a post on Truth Social, he accused Erika McEntarfer, a Biden appointee, of manipulating employment figures for political purposes. 'I was just informed that our Country's 'Jobs Numbers' are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala's chances of Victory,' he wrote in his post. 'This is the same Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. These were Records — No one can be that wrong? We need accurate Jobs Numbers. I have directed my Team to fire this Biden Political Appointee, IMMEDIATELY. She will be replaced with someone much more competent and qualified,' he added. The BLS reported a gain of just 73,000 nonfarm jobs in July—well below market expectations. The agency also revised job gains for May and June downward by a combined 258,000, bringing the three-month average to just 35,000. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 Most Beautiful Female Athletes in the World Click Here Undo It was the steepest two-month revision since April 2020. 'McEntarfer said there were only 73,000 Jobs added (a shock!) but, more importantly, that a major mistake was made by them, 258,000 Jobs downward, in the prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part of the year, always to the negative,' Trump wrote. NBC News confirmed McEntarfer's dismissal. The BLS, under the department of labor, has not commented. Labor secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, a Trump appointee, oversees the agency. Trump and congressional Republicans have long criticized the BLS, particularly over large data revisions. In this year's budget proposal, Trump called for an 8% staffing cut at the agency, raising concerns about the quality and reliability of its economic data. The weak jobs report triggered a market sell-off, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling more than 500 points and the Nasdaq dropping over 2%. Treasury yields also declined. Trump also renewed his attacks on federal reserve chair Jerome Powell. "The Economy is BOOMING under 'TRUMP' despite a Fed that also plays games, this time with Interest Rates, where they lowered them twice, and substantially, just before the Presidential Election, I assume in the hopes of getting 'Kamala' elected – How did that work out? He wrote. 'Jerome 'Too Late' Powell should also be put 'out to pasture.' The Federal Reserve kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged this week, but Friday's weak jobs data has increased expectations of a possible rate cut in September.
