Trade Deadline Overflow Thread

Keep it going here, and I'll be covering new stuff as it happens throughout the day. Also be sure to head over to SB Nation Pittsburgh, where Adam Bittner and I have been covering pretty much every little thing related to the Pirates and the trade deadline.

I know the Pirates will keep working to make more trades today, but I wonder whether we'll actually see one. The most glaring need has already been addressed. They could still use an outfielder, and I think they'll probably kick the tires on some bullpen options, and maybe a catcher or two.

UPDATE 10:18 AM: Lyle Overbay is still with the Bucs this morning.

UPDATE 11:35 AM: Ryan Ludwick apparently continues to be a possibility, and Rob Biertempfel writes that the Pirates are currently having a "closed-door meeting," presumably to discuss another trade. Side note - is it just me, or does Twitter fail to load, like, half the time, giving all kinds of "Sorry, that page doesn't exist" or "Twitter is currently over capacity" error messages? Why do people like this website?

UPDATE 11:47 AM: The reason Derrek Lee isn't reporting today is "family issues."

UPDATE 11:49 AM: Rob Biertempfel says the Pirates are primarily looking at someone else, not Ludwick, and Jon Heyman says they're asking about B.J. Upton. I would think that Upton would probably require a serious return, whereas Ludwick would not, so I think I'd almost prefer Ludwick.

UPDATE 11:51 AM: Now Biertempfel says the guy the Bucs want is Jason Kubel.

UPDATE 12:27 PM: All this stuff about Lee's reporting time strikes me as much ado about nothing. He'll join the team on Monday, and if hits, none of us will ever remember there was a problem.

UPDATE 12:38 PM: Jon Paul Morosi says the Bucs and Twins are not "in serious talks" about Jason Kubel.

UPDATE 1:04 PM: The Indians reportedly look like they're going to land Ludwick.
