The Padres acquired native son Joe Musgrove from the Pirates in a three-team deal:

The team acquired the Grossmont High alumnus on Monday in a three-team trade that resulted in Joey Lucchesi going to the Mets and four other players heading to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Padres sent relief pitcher David Bednar, outfielder Hudson Head (their No.7 overall prospect), left-hander pitcher Omar Cruz (No.17) and right-handed pitcher Drake Fellows, who was a sixth-round pick in 2019, to Pittsburgh.

I’m not sure how the Mets figure into this, assuming they traded someone to the Pirates for Lucchesi.

Musgrove likely owns ERA upside, as his career FIP is much lower than his ERA. In 2020, he posted a 3.86 ERA with a 3.42 FIP and a .319 xFIP. The Pirates continue to stock up on young talent. They are obviously aiming three or four years down the road.
