Ben Cherington deadline talk

Ben Cherington says that he is constantly on the phone, regarding the deadline. Some random bogus MLB account on twitter said that Cherington would be dumped today. Mullsy says that the Pirates division competition year by year is not very tough, yet they almost never compete. Mullsy thinks that the pirates need to trade Mitch Keller for a “real bat”. Why is it taking Nutting so long to dump Cherington?
