Pirates Sign Pham and Mayza to One-Year Deals

The Pittsburgh Pirates have made significant roster moves by signing veteran outfielder Tommy Pham and left-handed reliever Tim Mayza to one-year contracts. Pham, who has played with multiple MLB teams, joins the Pirates with a career batting average of .258. Mayza, who struggled last season with a 6.33 ERA but showed promise in past years, aims to strengthen the Pirates' bullpen. To accommodate Mayza on the roster, the Pirates designated infielder Alika Williams for assignment. Meanwhile, the Baltimore Orioles signed outfielder Ramon Laureano to a one-year deal, necessitating the designation of infielder Luis Vazquez for assignment to clear roster space.
