The Pittsburgh Pirates are going to need to add starting pitching this offseason.
Even if they go with a few bullpen spots in 2024, the only starter they currently have is RHP Mitch Keller. The other option was RHP Johan Oviedo, who put up a 4.31 ERA in 177.2 innings last year, across 32 starts. As Jason Mackey reported, Oviedo is dealing with right-elbow issues, and Tommy John has been discussed.
With Keller being the only reliable starting option, the Pirates will need to look to the outside for at least two starters this offseason.
