Andrew Heaney News: Enters open market

Heaney cleared waivers Saturday and was released by the Pirates, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Pittsburgh designated Heaney for assignment Tuesday, and the combination of his $5.25 million salary and 5.39 ERA through 120.1 frames this season makes it unsurprising that he went unclaimed on waivers. The 34-year-old southpaw will now attempt to latch on with another team, and he will need to do so before Monday in order to be eligible for the postseason.
