Report: Pirates, Heaney agree to 1-year, $5.25M deal
The Pittsburgh Pirates agreed to a one-year, $5.25-million deal with left-hander Andrew Heaney, according to The Associated Press.
Heaney's reported deal includes incentives.
The 33-year-old spent the past two seasons with the Texas Rangers, authoring a 4.22 ERA with 310 strikeouts in 307 1/3 innings.
Heaney tossed 160 frames in 2024 while posting a 4.04 FIP and 8.9 K/9. Opposing hitters batted just .230 against the southpaw's four-seam fastball last season.
The Oklahoma native should join a Pirates rotation that also features Paul Skenes, Mitch Keller, Jared Jones, and fellow lefty Bailey Falter.
The Pirates are the sixth team of Heaney's 11-year career. He also suited up for the Rangers, Los Angeles Angels, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, and Miami Marlins.
Pittsburgh reportedly pursued a reunion with left-hander Jose Quintana before agreeing to a deal with Heaney, sources told FanSided's Robert Murray.
