If I were projecting out an Opening Day rotation for the 2023 Pittsburgh Pirates, the starting five probably wouldn’t include Johan Oviedo.
That’s not to say that it shouldn’t.
The current projected rotation would include Mitch Keller, Roansy Contreras, JT Brubaker, and Rich Hill. If Oviedo were to make the Opening Day rotation, he would need to beat out Vince Velasquez for the fifth spot.
It seems more likely to me that Oviedo begins the season in the minors, since the Pirates signed Velasquez for over $3 million and announced him as a member of their starting group.
