At 4 p.m. on Wednesday afternoon, the MLB Trade Deadline will arrive. With this being the first year of no waiver wire trades in August, it should make for a busy day around baseball. There is a good chance this will include the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Outfielders Corey Dickerson and Melky Cabrera, as well as reliever Francisco Liriano are set to hit free agency at the end of the season. This will lead to the Pirates looking to trade all three of these players before 4 p.m. on Wednesday. However, the team’s biggest trade chip is closer Felipe Vazquez.
