Pirates may start dealing soon (http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/view/54092)

The non-waiver trading deadline for Major League Baseball is less than seven weeks away, which means the speculation on the future of Jason Bay (http://www.fannation.com/tags/show_tag/3702), Xavier Nady (http://www.fannation.com/tags/show_tag/3497) and assorted other Pirates (http://www.fannation.com/tags/show_tag/55) should begin ramping up any day now. Although the Pirates (http://www.fannation.com/tags/show_tag/55) moved within two games of .500 with their 5-4 win against the Orioles (http://www.fannation.com/tags/show_tag/33) yesterday and continue to flirt with a .500 record, they are not a serious contender for a playoff spot. Management has made it clear that unless the Pirates (http://www.fannation.com/tags/show_tag/55) are in contention for the postseason, many of the team's better players will become available.
