Dodgers hope to deal Pierre, Bucs interested?

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Dodgers need pitching help, but in part because of owner Frank McCourt's divorce, they have no money to spend.

The solution? Trade outfielder Juan Pierre, due to make $10 million next year and $8.5 million in 2011.

Among the teams that may have interest, according to sources, are the usually-thrifty Pirates. It's not yet clear how a deal would be constructed, but the Dodgers would likely try to get either Paul Maholm and Zach Duke.

In any possible Pierre trade, the Dodgers could either acquire a starting pitcher in return, or could free up enough money to acquire a pitcher elsewhere. Depending on who they get in return, it's likely the Dodgers would need to agree to pay part of Pierre's contract to make a deal happen.

Pierre was one of many names floating through the lobby of the Marriott hotel as executives gathered for the winter meetings, which officially begin Monday. The Cubs continue in their attempts to trade outfielder Milton Bradley, and the Marlins have been talking to various teams about both reliever Matt Lindstrom and second baseman Dan Uggla.

Agree on every point. The Pirates are a decent bullpen away from .500. I do think that Duke could be had for the right package of players (young, affordable, 5 years of team control).

There can be absolutely ZERO truth to this rumor.  If the Pirates wanted a guy like Juan Pierre for thier outfield, they would have kept Nyjer Morgan.  They don't want Pierre and sure as heck wouldn't give up Duke or Maholm for him if they did.
