Pirates acquired RHP Lake Bachar from the Marlins for RHP Brandan Bidois, INF Hyun Seung Lee and OF Brian Sánchez.

Bachar arrives in Pittsburgh having posted a 3.84 ERA and a 61/21 K/BB in 58 2/3 innings as a middle man for the Marlins. He’s been homer-prone throughout his career, but at least PNC is a good park for him. He should be more of a candidate for wins than saves while often working in the sixth and seventh innings. The Pirates will have him under control through 2030.
