Starting pitcher Paul Skenes and center fielder Oneil Cruz are the only two players the Pittsburgh Pirates consider off limits in trades, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale.

Pirates center fielder Oneil Cruz is one of those players, with reports the franchise had listened to trade offers on him and that the New York Yankees one of the teams interested in him. Cruz, himself, isn't worried about any trade rumors, as there isn't anything he can control and understands that this is part of the game.

The Philadelphia Phillies are reportedly "trying to trade for" Pittsburgh Pirates star slugger Oneil Cruz at the trade deadline.
