2 trade rumors Pirates fans hope come true, 2 they hope don't

The Pittsburgh Pirates are expected to be among the most aggressive teams in baseball at the trade deadline, though not for the sake of adding talent.

Instead, the 44-62 Pirates (the lone team in the NL Central without a winning record) profile as one of the most prolific sellers on the market this season, with perhaps only the Arizona Diamondbacks (who already began their sell-off last week) owning more attractive pieces for would-be contenders.

As such, expect to be inundated with rumors over the course of the next few days as fellow teams try to pilfer the Pirates' treasure trove of talent.
