Money Mitch got paid. Five years for $77 million, to be exact.
Mitch Keller and the Pittsburgh Pirates reportedly agreed to a contract extension Thursday that was confirmed by the team on social media Friday and later in the day with a special press conference.
Keller and the Pirates had every reason imaginable to get a deal done. 77 million reasons for Keller. Certainty and sustainability at the top of the rotation for the Pirates.
It’s pretty simple: good starting pitching wins games. More importantly, it wins playoff series. The Pirates will pay Keller an average of $15.
