Chasen Shreve Agrees With Pirates
4 years agoThe Pittsburgh Pirates agreed to a minor league deal with relief pitcher Chasen Shreve. He will be guaranteed $1.5 million if he makes the major league roster, according to sources. The 30-year-old has a strong fastball/cutter combination and had the highest whiff rate for a left-handed pitcher with 25-plus innings last season. Shreve posted a 3.96 ERA and 1.16 WHIP while fanning 34 hitters and walking 12 in his 17 appearances for New York. In seven big league seasons with the Yankees, Cardinals, Mets and Braves, Shreve has a 3.74 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 10.5 K/9 in 228 2/3 innings over 235 appearances. He has just two saves and should be primarily a left-handed specialist with Pittsburgh in 2021.
