The Pittsburgh Pirates are actively pursuing free agent lefty Framber Valdez, who is considered one of the top remaining players ahead of spring training. Despite the team’s historically frugal spending, they have shown interest in multiple high-profile free agents this offseason. Valdez, who had a 3.66 ERA last year and a solid career record with the Astros, could significantly enhance Pittsburgh’s rotation alongside NL Cy Young winner Paul Skenes. The Pirates face competition from the Blue Jays and Orioles, but their connection with new pitching coach Bill Murphy, who previously worked with Valdez, may bolster their chances.
