Pirates Rumors: Correia, Accardo, Duchscherer

4:05pm: The Pirates are interested in Kevin Correia, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (on Twitter).

3:25pm: The Pirates are aggressively pursuing Accardo, according to Kovacevic (on Twitter).

2:51pm: The latest on the Pirates:

• The Pirates are deeply interested in Jeremy Accardo, reports Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.  The Dodgers are also known to be in on the recently non-tendered reliever.
• A couple of teams have approached the Pirates about center fielder Andrew McCutchen, tweets ESPN's Gordon Edes, but they'd have to be overwhelmed.
• The Pirates and Justin Duchscherer have mutual interest, reports Kovacevic.
• The Pirates have shown some interest in Braves starter Kenshin Kawakami, reports MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch.  She estimates Kawakami would only cost the Pirates $1-2MM and no significant players, as the Braves are just looking to unload part of his $6.667MM salary.
• Langosch says the Pirates have mild interest in Cardinals shortstop Brendan Ryan.  Kovacevic says the Pirates continue to discuss shortstops with many teams, including J.J. Hardy with the Twins.
• Kovacevic adds that the Pirates would love to trade Ryan Doumit.  He says they'd only trade Evan Meek or Joel Hanrahan for a very significant return.
