The Pittsburgh Pirates are signing starting pitcher Andrew Heaney, according to reports.
It is expected to be a one-year, $5 million deal with incentives, per ESPN.
The 33-year-old left-hander owns a career 4.45 ERA across 11 seasons. During the 2024 campaign, he recorded a 4.28 ERA, 1.250 WHIP, and 159 strikeouts across 32 appearances for the Texas Rangers. He threw 160 innings, which was his biggest workload since 2018.
Last season, he ranked in the 86th percentile in offspeed run value. His changeup was particularly effective, being credited with a run value of +4.
Heaney represents the Pirates’ most significant offseason addition to date. His $5 million total contract value is tied for their highest mark this offseason with returning designated hitter Andrew McCutchen.
Heaney will add a veteran presence to a starting rotation headlined by reigning NL Rookie of the Year Paul Skenes.
