Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Mitch Keller has drawn some interest from a handful of teams ahead of the MLB trade deadline, and another World Series-contending club reportedly is eyeing him.

Of most immediate concern is the status of Max Fried’s blister. The Yankees are going nowhere if they don’t have Fried atop their rotation, but it is still not clear whether the left-hander will need an IL stint because of the blister issue that popped up in Saturday’s start and has cost him time in the past.
