Andrew McCutchen Trade Talks Continue On With Nationals

Published:

According to Ken Rosenthal, the Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals are still in trade talks concerning Andrew McCutchen. Multiple sources earlier this week mentioned that the Nationals would like to get the deal done before Friday, but the level of interest has remained the same since then.

Jon Heyman noted that he was told that the Pirates don’t feel compelled to move McCutchen unless the price is right.

Baseball’s winter meetings begin tomorrow and run through next Thursday, so if nothing comes about today, the Pirates and Nationals (and any other team that wants to get involved) will have a chance to meet up face-to-face to discuss a possible deal.

If anything else of note comes up, we will update this article.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
