On February 24, the Pittsburgh Pirates and left-handed relief pitcher Kevin Siegrist came to terms on a minor league contract. Even though Siegrist’s deal was of the minor league variety, it was rather obvious that barring a disastrous spring he would make the team out of Spring Training.
Kevin Siegrist brings a ton of experience to the Pirate bullpen. The lefty was a key cog in the bullpen for the St. Louis Cardinals during the 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 seasons. This included pitching in the postseason in each of those seasons except 2016.
In 2017 Kevin Siegrist split time between the Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies and struggled.
