Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that the Pirates made a "significant offer" for Giancarlo Stanton that "caught the attention of the Marlins' front office." Biertempfel says the Pirates "made repeated attempts to work a deal" for the outfielder. It's not clear what they offered, but the Bucs have enough pieces in their farm system to put together an enticing package. Biertempfel notes that they also made a run at Mark Trumbo but were told the Angels weren't interested in dealing him.
