One National League All-Star right-hander is getting the biggest contract ever for a Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher, while another is facing a setback before the start of the season for the New York Mets.
The Pittsburgh Pirates and Mitch Keller have reached a new $77 million, five-year contract, replacing a previous one-year agreement. Keller, a 27-year-old right-hander, is expected to make his second consecutive opening day start for the Pirates after a successful 2023 season where he was a first-time All-Star.
