Adrian Morejon
Age 27 B/T L/L 5′11″, 224 lb Cuba MLB debut 2019
- Free agent est. 2 yr × $23.2M ($16M–$36M) · +1.4 wins to Pittsburgh’s Winter Plan in the bullpen
2 cautions
- Priced beyond last winter's market: his projection (1.9 WAR) is above any reliever signed then (1.2). The model's extrapolation ($28.6M a year) is capped at 1.1× the richest reliever deal (Edwin Díaz, $21.1M), so the estimate is a floor more than a forecast.
- A qualifying offer is a toss-up: 9 of last winter's 14 deals priced like his came in high enough to clear the $23.15M offer (an estimate until offers are made, about Nov 1–5). If he gets one, signing him costs Pittsburgh a draft pick worth about $5.8M net of its bonus; the Free-Agent Board's shopping lists count $3.7M, the pick at those odds.
