Veteran Dyson Signs $2 Million Deal With Pirates

PITTSBURGH (AP) – Free agent outfielder Jarrod Dyson finalized a $2 million deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Pittsburgh hopes he can fill the void in center ácreated by Starling Marte’s trade to Arizona. Dyson hit .230 with seven home runs and 27 RBIs in 130 games with the Diamondbacks last season. The 35-year-old also stole 30 bases for the fifth time in his 10-year career. The Pirates are retooling following a last-place finish in 2019 that led to a massive overhaul of the club’s leadership staff. New general manager Ben Cherington sent Marte to Arizona last month in exchange for two 19-year-old prospects.
