Kim signs with the Pirates


According to a Press Release from the Pittsburgh Pirates this morning, the team has signed free agent right-hander Byung-Hyun Kim to a 1-year contract, though the terms of the deal have not been released.


Pirates GM Neil Huntington made the announcement saying:


"Byung-Hyun Kim is a veteran right handed pitcher who has pitched, and wants to again pitch, late in games out of the bullpen," said Huntington. "He has been tough on right-handed hitters over the past three seasons and had success against both left-handed hitters and right-handed hitters when he pitched primarily as a reliever. Byung-Hyun will compete to earn a role on our club as a reliever and he adds an experienced option for us in our bullpen competition."
