PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates added another veteran left-hander to fill out their starting rotation, agreeing Monday with Martin Perez on an $8 million, one-year deal, sources told ESPN, confirming multiple reports.

The agreement with the 32-year-old, who won a World Series with Texas in November, is pending a physical, according to The Associated Press.

Perez becomes the second left-handed starter to join Pittsburgh in recent weeks. The Pirates acquired Marco Gonzales from Atlanta for $100,000 on Dec. 5, a trade in which the Braves are sending Pittsburgh $9.
