Athletics Sign Luis Severino to $67M Deal, Eyeing Sean Manaea
The Pittsburgh Pirates are being urged to follow the Oakland Athletics' example by signing multi-year free-agent contracts, as demonstrated by the A's recent $67 million deal with pitcher Luis Severino. Despite the Pirates' investment in extending key players like Ke'Bryan Hayes, Bryan Reynolds, and Mitch Keller, their largest free-agent contract remains Francisco Liriano's $39 million deal from 2014. With a strong pitching lineup and a need for offensive improvement, the Pirates are encouraged to be more active in free agency to capitalize on their current competitive window.
