The Pirates have reportedly agreed to a contract with Byung-Hyun Kim. It took a major league deal to get him, which means it’s a guaranteed contract. The Pirates are said to be most interested in Kim as a reliever, though it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him work as a starter during Spring Training to give them a backup option should anything happen to one of their current starters.
