Oneil Cruz is drawing strong trade interest as the Pirates weigh offers for MLB’s hardest-hitting center fielder before the 2025 deadline.

The New York Yankees and Pittsburgh Pirates have had at least cursory discussions about outfielder/infielder Oneil Cruz, the New York Post's Jon Heyman reports. However, the ask for Cruz is of course high, according to Heyman.

“The Yankees have had a known interest in Kiner-Falefa,” Hiles wrote. “The Post-Gazette recently learned that the Giants have also inquired about the Pirates’ shortstop, although the extent of their interest is unknown. Kiner-Falefa has arguably been the Pirates most consistent hitter this year, batting .274 with a .658 OPS over 87 games.”
