Pirates Signing Former All-Star Player

PITTSBURGH, PA — The Pirates are signing a former All-Star player whose name should be plenty familiar to Bucco fans. The team is bringing back Adam Frazier, whom they initially drafted in 2013 and who played six seasons for the team before being traded.

Frazier, 33, is coming back to the Pirates on a one-year deal, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

A second baseman and outfielder, Frazier played for the Pirates from 2016-21 and made the All-Star team in 2021. Shortly after that, he was traded to the San Diego Padres in exchange for Jack Suwinski, utilityman Tucupita Marcano and right handed pitcher Michell Miliano.

Since leaving the Pirates, Frazier also has played for the Seattle Mariners, Baltimore Orioles and Kansas City Royals. Last year with the Royals he batted .202 in 294 plate appearances.
