PITTSBURGH -- Andrew McCutchen and Gerrit Cole are gone, but Felipe Rivero should be sticking around a while.
The Pirates and Rivero completed a four-year deal with club options for 2022-23, the club announced on Thursday. News of the agreement was first reported on Monday.
"We are pleased to make this long-term commitment to Felipe Rivero and are humbled that he has made a long-term commitment to the Pirates organization and our community," general manager Neal Huntington said. "Felipe quickly established himself as one of the best young relief pitchers in Major League Baseball last season and we look forward to working with him to help us win games for potentially the next six seasons.
