The Pittsburgh Pirates are now likely to hang onto Pedro Alvarez after shopping him for several weeks without receiving much interest, according to MLB Trade Rumors.
They talked to the Brewers, White Sox, and Rays about acquiring Adam Lind, Adam LaRoche, and James Loney, respectively, but they're unlikely to get another first baseman with Alvarez in the fold.
ESPN's Jayson Stark adds that multiple sources have downplayed the recent reports connecting Pittsburgh to the Red Sox‘ Mike Napoli.
