There has been a lot of speculation in recent weeks that the New York Yankees will make an serious attempt to acquire Nate McLouth during the off-season. Thus far, there has been no dialogue between the two sides but once the post-season ends the Yankees will likely make a strong pitch for McLouth. The Pirates looking to restock their system will listen to offers for anyone on their roster. Prospect Andrew McClutchen is expected to be the teams everyday centerfielder in 09. McLouth will likely move to left or right field. The Pirates are exploring the trade market for a power corner outfielder. Florida’s Jeremy Hermida is at the top of their wishlist
