Volquez was a key part to the Pirates success in 2013 after signing a 1-year, $5 million deal with the team.
Volquez surpassed all expectations in his one season with the Pirates by going 13-7 with a 3.04 ERA and 140 strikeouts in 192.2 innings pitched.
Those numbers were good enough for Volquez to start the Pirates' wild card game against the San Francisco Giants in which he pitched 5 innings giving up five earned runs and taking the loss.
