Pirates just outshined Cubs’ entire offseason with bold All-Star free agency splurge

As funny as it is to realize, at this moment, the Chicago White Sox have spent more money than the Chicago Cubs this offseason, it's even funnier that the Pittsburgh Pirates can now be added to that list. FanSided's Robert Murray reports that the Pirates are signing All-Star first baseman Ryan O'Hearn to a two-year deal worth $29 million.

A splash for the Pirates: Free-agent first baseman Ryan O’Hearn and the Pittsburgh Pirates are in agreement on a two-year, $29 million contract, according to sources familiar with the deal. It includes $500K in performance bonuses in each season.
