Odorizzi is reportedly the subject of the Pirates' interest at the MLB winter meetings, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Odorizzi rebounded nicely from a 9-9 record in 2015 to post a 10-6 mark last season, even as his ERA saw a slight bump to a still-solid 3.69. The 26-year-old right-hander also logged a career-best 187.2 innings, but on the down side, he gave up 29 homers, by far the most round-trippers he's surrendered in any of his five major league seasons. However, he turned the corner after the All-Star break following an uneven first half, going 7-1 with a 2.71 ERA over 83 frames. He therefore figures to bring back a decent return in a possible trade for the Rays, who are expected to move at least one starting pitcher this offseason.
