Like em3tt stated, what do the Pirates have to offer other than pitching? I don't expect them to give up any of their starters other than Chacon. Gorzo would be their best bargaining chip but they would be nuts to give him up. So that leads a minor league starter and possibly a reliever.

Saltalamacchia is going to be the Braves catcher of the future, if anyone is leaving Atlanta its Brian McCann

How is this news. Other than the Twins, is there a team not interested in Salty?
