Since the trade deadline talk in going to be heating up today and tomorrow, we figured it would be best to keep the discussions in one place. So any rumors from legit sources that come up today, will be posted below. If an actual trade happens, we will have an article up shortly after it’s announced. We will be watching closely all day today (and tomorrow) for news, so if an actual trade goes down, give it a few minutes for the article.
Here’s the newest tweet from Jon Morosi to get things started today
Sources: #Dodgers likely to add a reliever by tomorrow afternoon, as they continue discussions on #Pirates closer Felipe Vazquez and #Tigers closer Shane Greene, among others. @MLB @MLBNetwork

I’ll change the title any time something new comes up. If it’s just a similar tweet to Morosi’s, but from someone else, I’ll add it here, but won’t change the title.
UPDATE: Ken Rosenthal has more on Vazquez. Also, Corey Dickerson is in the lineup tonight. He’s obviously a major trade candidate.
#Pirates listening more actively on Felipe Vázquez, sources tell The Athletic. Deal still appears to be a longshot. Assessment from executive of one contender: “Priced out of reach.”

Jon Heyman chimes in
It’s seen as “unlikely” that Starling Marte or Felipe Vazquez is traded from Pirates. Vazquez drawing tons of interest.

UPDATE 5:06 PM: In non-Vazquez news, the Brewers have talked to the Pirates about Keone Kela, according to Robert Murray.
#Brewers have talked to #Pirates about Keone Kela, sources tell The Athletic. Deal doesn’t appear imminent. Other teams involved.
