Trevor Cahill: Inks deal with Pittsburgh

Cahill agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million deal with the Pirates on Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Cahill worked both in relief and as a starter with the Giants in 2020, managing a respectable 3.24 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across 25 innings. He struggled with his control, as he surrendered 14 free passes, but he also managed to punch out 31 hitters. Cahill should have a chance to earn a spot in the Pirates' rotation, though he'll still need to compete with Tyler Anderson, JT Brubaker, Cody Ponce and Will Crowe for the role.
