For the second time in three days there are reports surfacing that the Pittsburgh Pirates are scouting a Tampa Bay Rays’ starting pitcher. On Saturday, it was reported that the Pittsburgh Pirates were scouting Chris Archer who the Rays have since said they will not trade at the deadline. According to Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Times, the Pirates were one of five teams scouting Matt Moore’s start on Saturday night. The other four teams scouting Matt Moore were the Dodgers, Nationals, Rangers, and Red Sox.
Matt Moore put on a good show for those scouts that were in attendance on Saturday night.
