MILWAUKEE -- After weeks of speculation and rumors, the Major League Baseball trade deadline is just hours away, with all deals needing to be filed to the league's office by 4 p.m. Eastern Monday.
While the Pirates are clearly marketed as sellers and general manager Ben Cherington has been active in conversations, so far, they have only dealt one player: Jarrod Dyson to the White Sox Friday.
Even though players are trying not to focus on it, and Trevor Williams' clubhouse jokes have helped lighten the mood a bit, it is impossible for the group to ignore that this day may bring the most significant shake up to the Pirates' roster in years.
