Murdock represents an interesting gamble for the Pirates since he was a Rule 5 pick by the Athletics last offseason and made 14 underwhelming relief appearances, registering an astronomical 13.24 ERA during that span, before being returned to the Royals by mid-May. The 27-year-old hurler produced a solid 3.16 ERA and 72/41 K/BB ratio over 62 2/3 innings during 46 relief outings in the upper minors after returning to Kansas City.
