With the signing of Aroldis Chapman, pirates are expressing an interest in the former World Series champion.
Several teams were watching this pitcher throw throughout his session, including the Pirates.
After the Guardians assigned Noah Syndergaard for duty in August of last year, he finds himself in a difficult situation. About fifteen MLB organizations observed his throwing session this week, and according to John Heyman of the NY Post, the Pittsburgh Pirates are apparently interested in the flamethrower.
“Norah Syndergaard threw for about fifteen teams recently, and he reportedly hit the mid-90s.” There is interest among the pirates.
Reliever Aroldis Chapman was signed by the Pirates earlier this week to a one-year contract worth slightly over $10 million.
The Pirates needed a lot of assistance in several crucial areas going into the MLB winter, particularly the bullpen. Indeed, as they aim to take another step forward in the forthcoming season, Chapman’s addition helps them meet their requirement for pitching depth.
With a 76-86 win-loss record in 2023, Pittsburgh was just outside of the playoffs, but it was still an improvement over their 62-100 record in 2022. Having said that, the Pirates hope to keep getting better in the forthcoming 2024 campaign.
If the Pirates believe Syndergaard’s arm isn’t up to the demands of starting right now, they may use him to offer middle relief innings or as a backup pitcher.

In six starts with Cleveland, Syndergaard’s ERA was 5.40, indicating that he was still having trouble following Tommy John surgery. He possessed some of the greatest stuff in baseball before the injury. Syndergaard threw 716 innings with 775 strikeouts before the operation. His WHIP (walks plus hits divided by innings pitched) was a strong 1.16, while his ERA was a mere 3.31.
