MLB Trade Deadline 2012: Pittsburgh Pirates Acquire Gaby Sanchez from Marlins

Dealing down to the wire, the Pittsburgh Pirates have obtained first baseman Gaby Sanchez from the Florida Marlins for Gorkys Hernandez.

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports tweeted that the deal has been completed:

"

Official: Sanchez deal to #Pirates is done.

— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) July 31, 2012

"

Peter Gammons tweeted that the Pirates also will receive minor league right-handed relief pitcher Kyle Kaminsta in the deal:

"

Pirates got minor league RH reliever Kyle Kaminista in Sanchez deal

— Peter Gammons (@pgammo) July 31, 2012

"

The Associated Press (via Yahoo!) reported that the Marlins will also get the Pirates' extra-competitive draft pick in 2013.

So the Bucs get Sanchez's right-handed bat to complement the left-handed bat of Travis Snider, whom they just acquired. Sanchez, 29, showed promise over the past few years, but he took a step backwards this year. No doubt this is why the Marlins were willing to move him.

Year	Games	HR	RBI	AVG
2010	151	19	85	.273
2011	159	19	78	.266
2012	55	3	12	.202

 So, is this the Bucs' last deal before the deadline? Stay tuned!
