The Pirates have signed first baseman/outfielder Ryan O’Hearn to a two-year contract worth $29MM, with potential annual incentives of $500K. O’Hearn, who experienced a career resurgence in the past three seasons after being designated for assignment by the Royals, posted strong offensive numbers, including 17 home runs in 2025. This deal marks a significant investment for Pittsburgh, which has been historically cautious in free agency. O’Hearn’s versatility and recent performance aim to bolster a struggling Pirates lineup as they look to improve their offensive production for the 2026 season.
