Updating earlier reports, the Pittsburgh Pirates have agreed to a two-year, $29 million contract with free agent Ryan O'Hearn, including $500,000 in performance bonuses per season—the largest free-agent deal for a position player in franchise history. The 2025 All-Star and No. 31 free agent, who split last year between the Baltimore Orioles and San Diego Padres, hit .281/.366/.437 with 21 doubles, 17 home runs, 63 RBIs, and 2.4 WAR, bringing left-handed power and strong defense to Pittsburgh's revamped offense.
