Vince Velasquez went into the offseason with the hope to find someone who would give him a chance back in the rotation.
With the Pirates, he is getting that chance.
"It was a quick decision," Velasquez said at his introduction at PNC Park Tuesday. "I realized the opportunity that was being given was definitely something I wanted to advantage of."
After bouncing across the league and between the rotation and bullpen the past four years, Velasquez, a 30-year-old eight-year pro, is coming to the Pirates with the intention of being a part of their 2023 rotation.
