The Washington Nationals have been the most aggressive potential suitor via trade for Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen, with the Pirates heavily scouting their top outfield prospect Victor Robles. In addition to Robles, the Pirates also would likely want Lucas Giolito (not going to happen) or more realistically Reynaldo Lopez.
Analysis: A package of RObles and Lopez should get it done or the Pirates but keep in mind McCutchen showed signs of decline in 2016 as his speed seems almost shot and his overall hitting numbers were down across the board. At the very least, it looks like it is only a matter of time before McCutchen has a new home.
