He'll net a $625,000 salary and a $250,000 bonus, per Sports Hochi. Neverauskas holds a career 6.81 ERA over parts of four major league seasons.

Neverauskas was recently designated for assignment, so this move at least allows him to seek out a major league deal with another team. The 27-year-old posted a 7.11 ERA but did strike out 23 in 17 appearances with the Bucs in 2020.

The move removes Neverauskas from the Pirates' 40-man roster. The 27-year-old has struggled mightily in the majors over the last two seasons, as he followed a 10.61 ERA in nine games last summer with a 7.11 mark over 17 appearances in 2020. A team could be interested in Neverauskas in hopes he flashes the potential he showed in the minors a few years ago, but it's unlikely he's anything more than organizational depth going forward. 

Neverauskas made three appearances in his latest stint in Pittsburgh, allowing four runs, all of which came in one inning Friday against the Brewers. Montana DuRapau and Luis Escobar were recalled in corresponding moves for Neverauskas being optioned and Steven Brault (shoulder) landing on the injured list.
