| 1/24/25 | Pirates Closer Addresses Poor 2024 Season. If the Pittsburgh Pirates are to put up a fight in what should be a competitive NL Central this season, they need closer David Bednar to get back on track after uncharacteristically faltering throughout 2024. Coming off consecutive All-Star nods in 2022 and 2023, the Pittsburgh native blew seven saves while posting a 5.77 ERA over 57 2/3 innings and 62 appearances. “I've never been more ready to go, dialed in and hungry to get back to who I know I am,” Bednar said, via MLB.com's Alex Stumpf. Bednar was immediately inserted into Pittsburgh's bullpen after the club acquired him from the San Diego Padres as part of a three-team trade that sent Joe Musgrove the other way in January 2021.
