The Pirates opted not to tender Kuhl a contract for 2022, making him a free agent.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl started in 14 of 28 appearances for Pittsburgh in 2021 and had a 4.82 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 75:42 K:BB across 80.1 innings. The 29-year-old has been unable to put it all together at the big-league level and will now look to continue his career elsewhere.
