The Pirates have agreed to a two-year, $11MM contract with free agent
right-hander Daniel Hudson, reports Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports. Hudson is a
client of Jet Sports.
Hudson, 30 in March, posted an unsightly 5.22 ERA in 60 1/3 innings with the
D-backs last season, but all of the damage done against him was confined to
one dismal stretch over the summer. Hudson was sporting a 1.55 ERA as deep
into the season as June 21, but he was rocked for 26 runs over his next 15
appearances (during which time he had a staggering .625 BABIP). To close out
the season, Hudson allowed just four runs in 21 1/3 innings.
The Pirates are clearly banking that the dominant form with which Hudson
bookended his 2016 campaign is a true representation of his talent. Since
coming back from his second Tommy John surgery, Hudson has averaged about 96
mph on his fastball and looked the part of a potentially dominant late-inning
presence.
