Overview
- Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported the agreement on X, with outlets confirming it as a minor-league contract that includes a spring-training invitation.
- Devenski pitched in 13 MLB games for the Mets in 2025, recording a 2.16 ERA with 14 strikeouts and five walks across 16 2/3 innings.
- Pittsburgh views the move as a low-risk way to add bullpen depth and competition, with Triple-A a likely landing spot if he does not make the team out of camp.
- The veteran right-hander is a 2017 World Series champion who has also pitched for the Astros, Diamondbacks, Phillies, Angels, Rays and Mets.
- There is a realistic path to an opening-day role as the Pirates sort their relief corps, though any major-league spot will depend on his spring performance.
