The Pittsburgh Pirates need an proven hitter in the lineup.

The Boston Red Sox have one available.

The price, however, doesn’t seem right for either team.

MLBTradeRumors.com has the latest on the Kevin Youkilis rumor mill, and it seems the Pirates aren’t at the top of the list. The Indians have been said to be a serious bidder and the White Sox have entered the fray.

In other trade rumors, MLBTR says the Bucs have made Kevin Correia available.

It looks like the Pirates are trying, but is it enough?
