The Pittsburgh Pirates are exploring the free-agent market for left-handed starting pitchers, with at least six candidates under consideration according to a report from Pittsburgh Baseball Now.
The article, written by Danny Demilio and published on November 7, 2026, highlights veteran left-hander Martin Perez as one of the possible targets for the Pirates' rotation needs.
Perez, who has previous experience in the National League, could provide innings and stability to a Pittsburgh staff seeking depth. The report does not name the other five left-handed options but indicates the club is actively evaluating the market.
