EDIT: This apparently was a false report.
While the Pirates ultimately stood pat on trade deadline day (apart from a post-deadline deal for minor-leaguer Robert Andino), the club made a real push to acquire slugger Giancarlo Stanton from the Marlins, reports Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Except for apparently that was a false report (according to Clark Spencer):
Source: the #Marlins received many offers for Giancarlo Stanton, but NOT ONE from the Pittsburgh Pirates

sorry we're boring
My thoughts:
1.) Im glad this didn't happen for 2013's sake.
2.) I think any team, at this point in time, would greatly overpay for Stanton. I think there are other players who could provide as valuable as Stanton for a lesser investment.
