The Pittsburgh Pirates don't have many "untouchable" players as they prepare for a sell off at next week's MLB trade deadline, but center fielder Oneil Cruz may be one of the few... or is he?
Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reported earlier this week that teams had been reaching out to the Pirates about Cruz ahead of the deadline. While the Pirates will listen to offers, he said a deal is unlikely unless Pittsburgh is "absolutely bowled over by an offer."
A day later, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette doubled down on the assertion that a Cruz trade was unlikely.
