Pirates Sign Cuban Pitcher Herrera

The Pittsburgh Pirates today announced they have signed free agent right-handed pitcher Yoslan Herrera to a three-year contract. No other terms of the deal were disclosed. The announcement was made by Pirates Senior Vice President and General Manager, Dave Littlefield.

Herrera, 25, posted a combined record of 18-7 with a 3.27 ERA during his career in Cuba. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound hurler was a member of the Youth Cuban National Team for two years (1999-2000) and also spent four seasons playing for the Cuban National Team (2001-2004).

“Yoslan enjoyed a successful career while pitching in Cuba,” said Littlefield. “He’s a right-handed starter with a good arm and someone who has been very intriguing to us based on his international success.”
