Pirates Finalize Two-Year, $29 Million Deal With Ryan O'Hearn

Overview

• Pittsburgh announced the signing Thursday, making the agreement official.
• The contract spans two seasons for $29 million with up to $500,000 in annual plate-appearance incentives.
• O'Hearn hit .281 with 17 home runs and 63 RBIs in 2025 and earned his first All-Star selection while playing for Baltimore and San Diego.
• The left-handed hitter brings defensive flexibility, primarily at first base with additional experience in the outfield in recent seasons.
