The Pirates are casting a wide net for relief help as the deadline approaches with names such as Jason Frasor, Octavio Dotel, and Koji Uehara on their expansive list, sources tell Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter). The club is also looking for a bat, Morosi tweets, but it doesn't sound like they're close to anything.
On Friday, ESPN.com's Buster Olney reported that the club is taking a "very, very careful" approach to the deadline and aren't planning on trading major assets this month. They also picked up reliever Jason Grilli late last week to help improve their bullpen situation.
