The Pittsburgh Pirates are considering trade offers for outfielder Oneil Cruz as they approach the MLB Trade Deadline, according to insider Bob Nightengale. Despite being on the 60-day injured list, Cruz is enjoying a breakout season, batting .264 with 14 homers, 44 RBIs, and 21 stolen bases. While the Pirates have offensive depth, their pitching staff needs bolstering, making a potential Cruz trade for bullpen help a viable option. However, concerns linger about the effectiveness of GM Ben Cherington in executing trades.
