BRADENTON, FL — At this point in the off-season, the Pirates have collected enough hard throwing relievers that they could almost fill two MLB bullpens with guys who have hit 97+ MPH in their careers.
They’ve added Neftali Feliz and Juan Nicasio to deals that combine for about $7 M, making them guarantees to make the bullpen. Feliz has topped out at 103 MPH in his career, and 99 last year. Nicasio topped out at 98.9 MPH, which came last year.
They’ve added Yoervis Medina, Trey Haley, Jorge Rondon, and Curtis Partch in smaller deals like waiver claims, cash trades, or free agent signings.
