Should the Pittsburgh Pirates Look to Extend Pitcher Mitch Keller?

Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak shutting baseball down, it was reported by multiple outlets that the Pittsburgh Pirates have approached certain young players about potential contract extensions. It would eventually be reported that at least four players – Bryan Reynolds, Joe Musgrove, Ke’Bryan Hayes, and Kevin Newman – were approached by the Pirates about potential contract extensions.

While extension talks have not been reported, it is not unreasonable to think the team may have also approached pitcher Mitch Keller about a potential contract extension. Despite his struggles at the MLB level last season it can be seen why the team would be interested in extending Keller.
