The Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals are ramping up talks about a trade that would send star outfielder Andrew McCutchen to D.C., sources who have spoken with both teams told ESPNs Jayson Stark.The Nationals, according to one executive, were interested in making this deal Thursday, so they would be free to nontender shortstop Danny Espinosa before Fridays tender deadline.If McCutchen joins the Nationals, he would play center field, which would move Trea Turner to shortstop and leave Espinosa without a position.Pittsburgh is reportedly seeking a package that includes top prospects in exchange for the 30-year-old outfielder.McCutchen, 30, is signed through 2017, when he is owed $14 million, and the Pirates hold a $14.5 million club option for 2018.The center fielder is coming off his worst major league season, posting career lows in batting average (.256), on-base percentage (.336) and slugging percentage (.430). He also had 24 home runs and 79 RBIs.The 2013 National League MVP has a .292 batting average, 175 home runs and 637 RBIs in his eight years in the majors, all with the Pirates. McCutchen, a five-time All-Star, won a Gold Glove in 2012.If the Pirates are able to trade McCutchen, their plan is to move Starling Marte from left field to center field, according to multiple reports.Espinosa, who made $2.875 million in 2016, is eligible for arbitration if the Nationals tender the 29-year-old. If not, he would become a free agent Friday.Wholesale Nike Shoes . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday.
