Pirates Ink Michael Saunders To Minors Deal
7 years agoThe Pittsburgh Pirates signed free-agent outfielder Michael Saunders to a minor league deal Wednesday. Saunders was an All-Star in Toronto in 2016, but he fell off big time last year, hitting just .237/.312/.429 with 14 home runs and 38 RBI in 333 at-bats. Add Saunders to the list of players competing for playing time in left field in 2018. He'll do battle with Adam Frazier, Jordan Luplow, Sean Rodriguez and Daniel Nava for a platoon role, meaning Saunders will likely only have some NL-only part-time appeal, at best.
