Pirates selling


The Sporting News is reporting that the Pirates are willing to trade anyone on their roster.

"The Cubs also are interested in Pirates third baseman Aramis Ramirez, whose salary increases from $3 million to $6 million next season"

Ramirez would be a nice addition to the Cubs. Maybe Kelton and Hill for him? I dont know.
I wouldnt mind if the Cubs went after Chad Tracy of the D-backs. He was in the futures game and is hitting .317 at AAA Tucson. He is kinda blocked with Hillenbrand, Counsell and the host of other rookies who the D-backs have brought up to fill in for injuries. He could probably be had on the cheap.
