PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pittsburgh Pirates have a new pitching coach. The club has hired Oscar Marin from the Texas Rangers to replace Ray Searage. Searage was fired in October as part of a sweeping overhaul of Pittsburgh's leadership following a last-place finish in the NL Central. The 37-year-old Marin spent last season as the bullpen coach for the Rangers. Previous coaching stops include a two-year stint as minor league pitching coordinator for the Seattle Mariners and six years coaching in various levels of the Rangers' minor league system.
