Jon Heyman reports today that the Pirates are interested in right-handed pitcher Justin Masterson and Heyman believes he would be a good fit for the Pirates. This isn't a new rumor, as we heard it from two differences sources earlier this month, but the is the first time it's been mentioned since the Pirates signed Ryan Vogelsong and acquired Kyle Lobstein, which gave them a fifth starter and some depth. There appears to be more interest in Masterson now than before. On December 5th, there were reportedly five teams in on him, while now Heyman says as many as ten teams are showing interest.
