Pirates Rumors: McLouth, Maholm, Doumit
WEDNESDAY, 6:22pm: Kovacevic says Doumit's agent will meet with the Pirates later tonight to discuss their offer. Rob Biertempfel says the Pirates did make offers to all three and want to finalize deals within six to eight weeks.
TUESDAY, 11:28pm: Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette offers up the latest information on the Pirates.
- The Pirates have initiated extension talks with Nate McLouth, Ryan Doumit, and Paul Maholm. The Braves inquired on McLouth and Maholm, but the Pirates' demands were "way high" according to an Atlanta official. Kovacevic mentions Jordan Schafer as someone who could be offered.
- The Pirates had conversations with David Eckstein's agent, but not negotiations. The Bucs would probably have to trade a middle infielder for it to make sense. They never made a formal offer to Mark Loretta, who signed with the Dodgers today.
- The Jack Wilson market is tepid - the Twins have mild interest, the Dodgers have moved on to Rafael Furcal.
- While the Pirates have gotten inquiries on John Grabow, teams apparently want to look at free agent options first.
- John Perrotto says Jason Davis will refuse the Pirates' Triple A assignment and head to Japan.

Dejan Kovacevic: "The Jack Wilson market is tepid - the Twins have mild interest, the Dodgers have moved on to Rafael Furcal."
ORLY?
If LA has "moved on" to Raffy, wouldn't that basically mean "all in" for Furcal? Hope so. No ofence to Pittsburgh fans, but never wanted to see JW move out here.

IF Furcal signs elsewhere I expect Jack to be a Dodger within 48 hours of it happening.

I'd rather have Eckstein. If no Raffy deal is done.

I am sure Dodger fans would rather have the cheap option over Wilson. I just think Coletti for whatever reason likes Jack Wilson and if Furcal leaves he is going to wind up being the guy.

Jason Davis to Japan? Is he allowed to hunt over there? Really though, good guy, good luck.

Of course Maholm and McLouth will cost top prospects. They're young, good, cheap players. The holy grail of MLB.
