The Pirates announced Tuesday they have signed four players, including one of the best hitters in the Dominican Winter league this year, to minor-league contracts with invitations to spring training.
Outfielder Socrates Brito, left-hander Miguel Del Pozo, infielder Phillip Evans and right-hander Hector Noesi will each be given an opportunity to make the roster in Bradenton this spring.
The Noesi signing was previously reported during the MLB Winter Meetings in San Diego last week. Noesi had a very successful run in Korea from 2016-2018 but struggled with the Marlins last season.
