The Pittsburgh Pirates added Marlon Byrd on Tuesday and they are now interested in acquiring Justin Morneau from the Minnesota Twins.

Morneau has cleared waivers and the Twins are reportedly willing to pay some of the $3 million he is owed over the remainder of the season depending on the prospect received in return.

He is hitting .261/.318/.420 with 15 home runs and 72 RBIs for Minnesota this season.
