PITTSBURGH — A person with knowledge of the agreement tells The Associated Press that the Pittsburgh Pirates and All-Star pitcher Mitch Keller agreed to a five-year contract worth $77 million. The deal is pending a physical, the person said on condition of anonymity because the agreement was not yet final. The contract, the largest the Pirates have given a pitcher, begins this season and runs through 2028. It replaces a one-year agreement last month worth $5,442,500. Keller would have been eligible for free agency after the 2025 season.
