As of last Sunday, Major League Baseball free agency is underway. While no major moves have been made yet, the Pittsburgh Pirates have been active. Earlier this week they re-signed veteran infielder Jung Ho Kang to a one-year contract. With this signing, the Pirates have already signed more MLB free agents this offseason than they did last.
With the expected move of Kang being re-signed now in the books, Neal Huntington and the Pirates can turn their attention to other needs. This includes adding a fourth outfielder that can man right field until Gregory Polanco is healthy.
