The Pittsburgh Pirates are rolling the dice on lefty Tim Mayza, who’s reportedly locking in a one-year, $1.15 million deal—pending a physical—per MLB.com sources. And hey, good for him! But if we’re being honest, I’ve always been more of a Tim Hill guy anyway, no offense.
Mayza had a bit of a rough go in 2024, but he still managed to keep lefties in check, holding them to a .244 average—something the Pirates' bullpen could definitely use. He spent part of last season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he dominated with a 2.16 ERA before earning a call-up to the Yankees on Aug. 16. In 15 big-league appearances, he posted a 4.00 ERA over 18 innings with 12 strikeouts. Despite the solid effort, the Yankees cut him loose in November, making him a free agent.
Now, Mayza gets a fresh start in Pittsburgh. Let’s see if he can make the most of it!
