Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Ben Cherington is in a very tough position as the MLB trade deadline nears.

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Mitch Keller has been linked to a lot of trade rumors, but it seems as though the Pirates aren't sure if they will move him.

Pirates center fielder Oneil Cruz is one of those players, with reports the franchise had listened to trade offers on him and that the New York Yankees one of the teams interested in him. Cruz, himself, isn't worried about any trade rumors, as there isn't anything he can control and understands that this is part of the game.

The Texas Rangers are linked to closers from the St. Louis Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Adolis Garcia's name has been rumored.

Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Ben Cherington recently addressed the trade rumors surrounding Mitch Keller, one of his star pitchers.

It’s been mostly quiet on the trade front so far for the Pirates ahead of Thursday’s Trade Deadline, with the only move being sending Adam Frazier back to the Royals. That could, if not should, change in the coming days.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suárez is the hottest name in baseball as the trade deadline approaches, set for 6 p.m. Thursday, July 31.

Unfortunately for two-time All-Star pitcher Paul Skenes, he’s likely stuck with the Pittsburgh Pirates even if he wanted a trade ahead of the July 31 deadline.
