  • Pirates reportedly reunite with Adam Frazier on one-year deal


    Jan 28, 2025, 11:41 AM ET

    PITTSBURGH — Adam Frazier is heading back to the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to multiple reports.

    The club has agreed to terms with the veteran second baseman/outfielder on a one-year deal worth $1.525 million, per the reports. The deal is pending Frazier passing a physical.

    The 33-year-old Frazier spent the first five-plus seasons of his career with the Pirates from 2016-21. He hit .283 with 39 homers and 204 RBIs in 608 games with Pittsburgh. Frazier made the All-Star Game in 2021 before being traded to the San Diego Padres.

    Frazier has bounced around recently, playing for the Seattle Mariners in 2022, Baltimore Orioles in 2023 and Kansas City Royals last season. Frazier hit .202 in 104 games with the Royals in 2024.

    The deal gives the Pirates a versatile option who can play a corner outfield spot or second. Pittsburgh could have an immediate opening in right field after opting not to retain Bryan De La Cruz.

    The Associated Press contributed to this report.



    In a surprising move, the Pittsburgh Pirates have reportedly reunited with infielder Adam Frazier on a one-year deal. Frazier, who was recently traded to the San Diego Padres, is set to return to the team where he spent the first five seasons of his career.

    This move comes as a bit of a shock, as many expected Frazier to remain with the Padres or sign with another contending team. However, the Pirates have made it clear that they are committed to building a competitive team for the future, and bringing back Frazier is a step in that direction.

    It will be interesting to see how Frazier fits into the Pirates’ lineup and how he contributes to the team’s success in the upcoming season. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.

  • Adam Frazier Pirates contract: 1 year, $1.525 million


    The Pirates are reuniting with a former All-Star of theirs, , on a one-year Major League deal worth $1.525 million, sources told MLB.com on Tuesday. The club has not yet confirmed the signing.

    Frazier, a nine-year Major League veteran, spent the first six seasons of his career with the Pirates from 2016-2021. While he was a league-average hitter for the first five seasons of his career, he enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2021, when he was voted as the National League All-Star team’s starting second baseman. The Pirates – firmly in their rebuild by that point – traded him to the Padres for a package of players that included Jack Suwinski at the Trade Deadline.

    Frazier has had mixed results since leaving Pittsburgh, though. After down years with the Padres and Mariners in 2021 and 2022, he found some success with the Orioles in 2023, posting a .696 OPS and 1.7 WAR (according to Baseball Reference) in 141 games played. He spent last season with the Royals and transitioned to more of a role player, slashing .202/.282/.294 with four home runs and 22 RBIs over 294 plate appearances.

    With this new contract, the Pirates are showing their commitment to Frazier and their belief in his abilities to contribute to the team’s success. Fans can expect to see Frazier continue to be a key player for the Pirates in the upcoming season.

  • Pirates To Sign Adam Frazier


    9:59am: Frazier is guaranteed $1.525MM on the contract, reports Mark Feinsand of MLB.com.

    9:52am: Adam Frazier is headed back to the Pirates on a one-year, Major League contract, reports Jon Heyman of the New York Post. The McKinnis Sports client will rejoin the organization that drafted him in 2013 and the team for which he made the lone All-Star appearance of his career back in 2021.

    Frazier, now 33 years old, had a strong six-year run with the Buccos to begin his career, slashing a combined .283/.346/.420 in 2232 plate appearances while posting quality overall defensive grades at both second base and in left field. That stretch culminated with a huge .324/.388/.448 slash in the first half of the ’21 season, with Frazier logging a career-low 10.7% strikeout rate along the way. That resulted in an All-Star nod for Frazier and helped ramp up trade interest while the Pirates operated as deadline sellers. The Padres wound up acquiring Frazier in exchange for outfielder Jack Suwinski, utilityman Tucupita Marcano and righty Michell Miliano.

    Things didn’t pan out for Frazier in San Diego, however, and he’s never gotten his bat back on track. While he hit for a decent average down the stretch with the Friars, his walk rate and already limited power output tumbled. In 211 plate appearances, he batted .267/.327/.335 — about 13% worse than league-average, by measure of wRC+. Rather than pay him a raise in arbitration that winter, the Padres traded him to the Mariners, where his offensive struggles continued.

    In three and a half seasons since leaving the Pirates, Frazier has suited up for the Padres, Mariners, Orioles and Royals. That covers a span of 1562 plate appearances, during which Frazier sports  a tepid .236/.301/.336 batting line (82 wRC+). His 2024 season in Kansas City was the worst of his career; he batted only .202/.282/.294 in 294 plate appearances with the Royals last year and fanned in a career-worst 20.1% of his plate appearances.

    Though his offense has continued to flounder, Frazier posted solid defensive grades at second base and in the outfield corners last year. His strikeout rate may have been a career-high but was still a couple percentage points lower than league-average, while his 7.5% walk rate was within one percentage point of average. The Pirates have not only a righty-heavy bench mix but more broadly a roster and lineup that skews right-handed. Oneil Cruz, Spencer Horwitz and switch-hitting Bryan Reynolds are the only lefty bats assured of frequent playing time in Pittsburgh. Frazier will give the Pirates a familiar face and a contact-oriented left-handed bat to slot into the bench group.

    With Pittsburgh still facing uncertainty at both second base and in right field, Frazier is a cheap backup plan at either spot. He’s not going to be Plan A for the Pirates at either position, but he can step in at second base if a group of infielders including Nick Yorke, Nick Gonzales, Jared Triolo and Liover Peguero struggle and force versatile Isiah Kiner-Falefa into regular work at shortstop. Reynolds is locked into one outfield corner, but the other options on the 40-man roster right now include Suwinski (who struggled immensely in 2024), Billy Cook and out-of-options Joshua Palacios.

    More to come.



    The Pittsburgh Pirates are set to sign second baseman Adam Frazier to a new contract. Frazier, who has been with the team since 2016, is coming off a strong season in which he hit .327 with 7 home runs and 50 RBIs.

    The signing is seen as a key move for the Pirates, who are looking to bolster their lineup and compete in the NL Central. Frazier’s versatility and consistent hitting make him a valuable asset for the team.

    Stay tuned for more updates on the Pirates’ offseason moves and how Frazier’s signing will impact the team’s chances in the upcoming season. #Pirates #AdamFrazier #MLBFreeAgency

  • Adam Frazier signs with the Pirates


    The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed utility player Adam Frazier to a one-year, $1.525 million MLB deal, according to reporter Mark Feinsand. Frazier spent last year with the Royals, and hit .202/.282/.294 with four home runs in 294 plate appearances.

    The 33-year-old returns to the organization that he spent six seasons with, including an All-Star season in 2021. Frazier has spent most of his career as a starting second baseman, but was a versatile utility infielder for the Royals, playing first base, second base, third base, left field, and right field. He appeared in 104 games overall but had the 12th-worst wRC+ of any player with at least 250 plate appearances last year, and was below replacement level, according to Fangraphs.

    The Royals have been seeking a left-handed bench player capable of playing infield to replace Frazier this off-season. So far they have claimed infielder Braden Shewmake off waivers, and have signed Harold Castro and Cavan Biggio to minor league deals.
