It’s starting to become more clear on the type of pitcher the Pirates are looking to acquire. As the offseason continues, the rumors continue to swirl as to where free agents will sign. One such recent to come around for the Pirates, is right-handed pitcher Kyle Gibson.
The 35-year-old Gibson is coming off a little bit of a down year, although he still managed to make 31 starts and throw 167.2 innings — both of which were more than any other Pirates pitcher finished with in 2022.
On the outside it looks like your typical Pirates reclamation project, and to an extent he is.
