Caught up with DavidBednar in the visiting clubhouse just now to chat about how he's navigating things amidst an uncertain time with Major League Baseball's trade deadline scheduled for tomorrow evening. Like MitchKeller, Bednar is doing what he can to stay focused on what he can control as a member of the Pirates.
"There's certainly a lot of noise, but at the end of the day, once I'm at the field, this is the only thing I'm thinking about, just getting outs when my name is called," Bednar told me. "Part of having some struggles is you're able to sharpen your focus a little bit more and able to block out things like that. Ultimately, it is what it is and it's so far out of my control that it's not even worth paying too much mind to."
