The Pirates reportedly added a hard-throwing piece to their bullpen on Wednesday, agreeing to a one-year, $3.9 million contract with Neftali Feliz, according to Yahoo Sports. The club has not confirmed the deal.
Feliz, 27, split last season between the Rangers and Tigers, posting a 6.38 ERA over 48 innings, with 18 walks, 39 strikeouts and 10 saves. The right-hander appeared in 30 games for Texas the year before, with a 1.99 ERA and 13 saves.
After debuting for the Rangers at age 21 in 2009, Feliz won American League Rookie of the Year honors during an All-Star 2010 season.
