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.

The New York Yankees appear to be targeting a more long-term solution at closer rather than a rental before the MLB trade deadline. The Bronx Bombers are zeroing in on a trade for two-time All-Star closer David Bednar from the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to YES Network Yankees insider Jack Curry.

The Red Sox are reportedly among the teams that have reached out to the Pirates about righty starter Mitch Keller.
