Last weekend, Jake Crouse, who covers the Pittsburgh Pirates of MLB.com, reported that Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Ben Cherington has been peppered with more calls about Pirates players recently.
“It feels like it has picked up a little bit,” said Cherington.
But, seemingly, the Colorado Rockies aren’t getting the same number of calls and traction as the Pirates, both of which are teams that are well out of the playoff picture and have a slew of players that could be traded for players that could help future teams.
