The PG reports that the Pirates’ talks with left-handed reliever Will Ohman have really started to pick up in the last few days. They’re still far from getting anything done, as the PG is also reporting that five other teams are involved and at least a couple of them are far more desirable destinations for a guy like Ohman than the Pirates would be.
Still, with the Pirates reportedly in talks for guys like Marcus Thames, I have to think that this could be the precursor some other move involving John Grabow or even Sean Burnett (if someone is desperate for a LOOGY).
