Inks minor-league deal with Pirates
Mella reported to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday after recently signing a minor-league contract with the Pirates, Jake Crouse of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Mella was DFA'd by the Diamondbacks in mid-June, and the right-hander was later released on July 28. The reliever has pitched in the majors in five different seasons, with his best showing coming a year ago when he posted a 1.80 ERA across 10 innings with Arizona. He'll report to Indianapolis for the time being but could become an option to join the Pittsburgh bullpen later in 2021.

When Mella was traded to Cincinnati in 2015 in the return for Mike Leake, some publications had him as a top-100 prospect in baseball. Mella could never carve out a consistent role in Cincinnati, totaling eight appearances over three seasons. The right-hander was outrighted by Cincinnati last winter and elected free agency, landing with Arizona on a minor-league deal with a non-roster invite to major-league spring training. Mella had to bide his time at the alternate site for more than a month, but he finally enjoyed his first taste of big-league success when he joined the team in September. He can throw two variations of the fastball in the mid-90s and his slider showed improvement in 2020. An improved walk rate was also encouraging to see. Mella still has a lot to prove, but he is a sleeper in the Arizona bullpen.
