UPDATE 10:31 PM EST: Add the Reds as a team interested in Choo, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. While Indians are reluctant to trade Choo, they are looking for a big leaguer with less than three years service time, Rosenthal adds.

UPDATE 7:26 PM EST: A Choo-to-Texas deal is "not happening," reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.

Original Story: We're not sure whether the Cleveland Indians will be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline, but they may be interested in dealing outfielder Shin-Soo Choo regardless. According to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports, the Indians know the chances are slim they can sign the Scott Boras client to a long-term deal, making a trade the logical move.

If the Indians do decide to move Choo, the Pittsburgh Pirates and Texas Rangers are the two teams most interested in acquiring him.

The Pirates, who have been linked to several corner outfielders, have recently checked in on the 30-year-old and the price would likely include outfielder Starling Marte, reports Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
