Overview
- The agreement is reported at $1.5 million with incentives, and the club has not yet announced the signing.
- Urquidy, 30, is a right-hander with World Series experience from his Astros tenure and 15 postseason appearances on his résumé.
- He underwent Tommy John surgery in 2024 and logged only two outings for the Tigers last season, leaving his readiness an open question.
- He is expected to compete for a back-end rotation role and could provide swingman depth, with experience both starting and relieving.
- It would be the Pirates’ first rotation addition of the offseason after they pursued Framber Valdez, who signed with the Tigers.
