NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Pirates made a move Tuesday to address their starting pitching needs by signing veteran left-hander Marco Gonzales from Atlanta as a player to be named later.

The Pirates will also receive cash payments as part of the deal. Gonzales is scheduled to make $12,250,000 next year in the final season of the four-year, $30 million extension he signed with the Mariners in February 2020.

TRADE DETAILS
Pirates get: LHP Marco Gonzales, cash
Braves get: Player to be named

The Braves acquired the 31-year-old Gonzales from Seattle as part of the Jarred Kelenic trade Sunday night as baseball’s winter meetings began. Atlanta had no intention of keeping Gonzales and instead sent him to Pittsburgh, where general manager Ben Cherington made no secret this week that his team needs to start pitching.

Gonzales has a 65-49 record and a 4.14 ERA in nine major league seasons, including 155 big league starts and eight relief appearances. He made just 10 starts last season, going 4-1 with a 5.22 ERA and 4.28 FIP over 50 innings before a left forearm strain landed him on the injured list in early June. Ironically, he made his last start on May 28 against the Pirates, allowing one run on three hits over 5 2/3 innings with three walks and four strikeouts. He felt what he later described as an “aching pain” in his forearm, a problem that made it difficult for him to relax his arm to throw.

Gonzales underwent surgery in August to correct the problem, a cleaning procedure to decompress the anterior interosseous nerve. It’s no ordinary operation, but pitchers have successfully returned from it, including Scott Alexander and Brandon Morrow.

Gonzales will look to fill a void in a Pirates rotation depleted by injuries, most recently Tommy John surgery for Johan Oviedo. Pittsburgh’s list of healthy, proven starters includes Mitch Keller and little else.

“We want to add starting pitching in some way,” Cherington said Monday, “and I expect we will.”

Although the salary is significant, Cherington said earlier Tuesday the team is willing to increase payroll to meet needs.
