By Jeff Todd [July 31, 2013 at 8:07am EST]

8:07am: Hank Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle tweeted that the Pirates are closing in on a deal to acquire Giants outfielder Hunter Pence. Schulman reports that the Giants asking price was quite high as of yesterday, but if the right package was offered, they'd be willing to deal him.

10:26am: Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review has tweeted that 18-year old pitcher, Luis Heredia, is being discussed as a piece of the package to acquire Pence.

3:42pm: Sources have confirmed that a trade sending Hunter Pence to the Pirates is no longer in the works. The Pirates reportedly offered Kyle McPherson, Luis Heredia, and Tyler Glasnow in exchange for Pence and a minor league prospect; however, the Giants decided not to pull the trigger.
