Justin Masterson has finally signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates and for a minor league deal too. It makes you think his rehab has not gone as well as hoped.
He will now try to regain some former form, or at least consistent ground balls with the side of strike out. The Pirates did leave open the possibility for Masterson as a reliever, which right now looks like the bigger need. Although he is going to begin as a starter. Nicasio has been pretty good and Locke is not awful, so he has some work to do to break the rotation.
