Gets $29 million from Pirates The Pirates signed O'Hearn to a two-year, $29 million contract Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact He'll have the opportunity to stretch the total guarantee to $30 million if he reaches $500,000 in incentives each year of the deal. O'Hearn has slashed .277/.343/.445 over the last three regular seasons between the Orioles and Padres and made his first All-Star team in 2025. The left-handed hitter reversed a career trend and hit better versus lefties (.832 OPS) than righties (.795 OPS) in 2025, so he could be an everyday player in Pittsburgh. With Spencer Horwitz manning first base, O'Hearn will likely see most of his playing time at designated hitter.

Blasts grand slam O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in Tuesday's victory over the Brewers.

Impact O'Hearn electrified the crowd Tuesday with a first-inning grand slam off Bruce Zimmerman to put the Padres on top early. After a rough start to September, the slugger has locked back in, going 10-for-20 with eight RBI and a pair of extra-base hits across his past five games. While his post-deadline production has dipped to a .711 OPS since leaving the Orioles, O'Hearn's overall season has been strong, with a .276/.362/.435 line, 20 doubles, 17 homers and 62 RBI across 140 games.

Trio of RBI in three-hit attack O'Hearn went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Saturday's 7-3 win over the White Sox.

Impact It was the fourth three-RBI effort of the season by O'Hearn, who also knocked at least three hits for the seventh time in 2025. The All-Star slugger has found himself in quite the tailspin at the plate -- he has a .529 OPS in September -- though he doesn't appear to be in immediate danger of losing action as the designated hitter. Gavin Sheets, who's O'Hearn's main threat to playing time, has a .589 OPS this month.

For the season, he's logged a .280/.372/.450 slash line, 16 home runs, 54 RBI, 61 runs scored, 19 doubles and three stolen bases over 125 games between San Diego and Baltimore.

Knocks homer in loss O'Hearn went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Giants.

Impact O'Hearn got the Padres within a run in the seventh inning, but that was as close as they got. The 32-year-old has had a poor August -- he's batting just .200 with four extra-base hits and seven RBI over 14 games since joining the Padres at the trade deadline. Overall, he's at a .275/.369/.460 slash line with 15 homers, 50 RBI, 49 runs scored and three stolen bases across 108 contests between San Diego and Baltimore.
