Both third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes and left fielder Tommy Pham aren't in the lineup for the Pirates against the Giants, with the MLB trade deadline on July 31. MLB teams have reportedly waned interest in Hayes in a trade, but the Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs reportedly showed interest in him earlier on.

Two Pittsburgh Pirates pitchers — relief pitcher David Bendar and starter Mitch Keller — are getting a lot of interest as the deadline approaches. But the Pirates might need to be blown away with trade offers for either pitcher, and one in particular might not be moved at all.

Pittsburgh Pirates general manager Ben Cherington is in a very tough position as the MLB trade deadline nears.
