Heaney agreed to a one-year, $5.25 million deal with the Pirates on Thursday that includes an additional $5 million of incentives, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.
Heaney enters 2025 having played the prior two seasons with Texas. For the Rangers, he recorded a 4.22 ERA across 66 games, 59 of which he started in. The southpaw should slot in as Pittsburgh's No. 4 starter, with Bubba Chandler, Bailey Falter and Mike Burrows competing for the final rotation spot while Johan Oviedo completes his recovery from December 2023 Tommy John surgery.
