Right-hander Mike Clevinger agreed Wednesday to a minor league contract with the Pirates and will attend big league spring training camp.

The White Sox gave Clevinger a try as a reliever last year, but it didn't take at all. After returning to the minors, he made 22 starts for Triple-A Charlotte with a 4.20 ERA and a 93/36 K/BB in 100 2/3 innings. He's enjoyed major league success just once in four years since returning from Tommy John surgery, going 9-9 with a 3.77 ERA for the White Sox in 2023, and he seems like quite a long shot to help the Pirates.
