The Pirates made another move to upgrade their bullpen on Thursday night, acquiring right-hander Joakim Soria from the Tigers for a minor leaguer. The 31-year-old Soria was 3-1 with 23 saves and a 2.85 ERA in 43 appearances with Detroit this season. The deal was made a few hours after the Pirates got versatile reliever Joe Blanton from Kansas City for cash.
