MLB Trade Rumors has predicted that the Pittsburgh Pirates will sign free-agent relief pitcher JoJo Romero, who recently helped the division rival Milwaukee Brewers capture a World Series title. Analyst Anthony Franco projects Romero to command a two-year, $13 million contract in free agency, with Pittsburgh viewed as a prime destination to upgrade its relief corps.

Romero posted a 1.13 ERA across eight postseason innings during Milwaukee's championship run after joining the team via an August trade. Emma Lingan of Rum Bunter argues that signing the left-hander would offer Pittsburgh an affordable, high-leverage setup option to replace departing free agent Gregory Soto.
