The baseball world waits. Will the Washington Nationals, or some other team, give the Pittsburgh Pirates what they want and get Andrew McCutchen?
After a day full of talk that a trade was imminent, things died down late Wednesday afternoon, though there are multiple reports that a deal still could happen.
MLB.com’s Jon Morosi wrote early this morning that the Nationals remain in the lead among interested teams:
Meanwhile, there were reports last night, including one from Jon Heyman at Fanrag, that said the Nationals were still in the mix for Chicago White Sox’ left-hander Chris Sale.
