Last week the Pirates signed veteran infielder Ramon Vazquez which has led to speculation that they will more aggressively attempt to move one of their incumbent infielders. Most have focused on ( rightfully so) Jack Wilson who could produce a decent bounty, but the last team interested was the ...

December 16, 2008
In a move that I was waiting for all day but really isn't very exciting, the Pirates added 5 minor leaguers to the 40-man roster (to avoid exposing them in the Rule-5 Draft). Today was the deadline for such moves.---Jose Tabata and Neil Walker are no-brainers. Jeff Sues was our system's minor ...

As I [suspected yesterday], the Pirates are indeed interested in Daniel Cabrera. They aren't alone, though: the [Baltimore Sun] reports that 11 teams are interested in him. The Bucs are definitely among that group though, since both [beat] [writers] confirmed the club's interest, saying they have made contact with Cabrera's agent and "will assuredly make an offer."---The other rumor...
