We'll take a cup o' kindness yet for auld lang syne...
Notes:
- LHP Rich Hill and the Pirates have agreed on a one-year/$8M deal. Hill is an 18-year MLB vet (He'll turn 43 in March) who pitched for Boston last year with an 8-7/4.27 slash in 26 starts. It certainly checks off the FO wish list's experienced lefty starter box...
- LHP Jarlin Garcia has officially signed his agreement for one-year/$2.5M with a club option for 2024 at $3.25M, sealing the deal that was made back during the winter meetings. Bryse Wilson was DFA'ed after slashing 3-9/5.52 last season to clear a 40-man spot.
- MLB.com had its local beat writers pick out the likeliest player to break out in 2023 by club. For the Pirates, Justice delos Santos went with the peoples choice, Oneil Cruz.
