Pirates reunite with Adam Frazier on one-year deal

The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed utilityman Adam Frazier to a one-year contract, marking his return to the team where he previously made an All-Star appearance in 2021. Frazier struggled during his tenure with the Kansas City Royals, posting a disappointing .202 batting average last season. This reunion comes as the Pirates look to bolster their roster with experienced players as they aim for a competitive season in 2025. Frazier, who can play multiple positions, is viewed as a veteran presence that could help guide younger players. After a series of underwhelming performances across different teams, the Pirates hope he can recapture his past form in Pittsburgh. The deal adds to the Pirates' efforts to improve their offense while leveraging their strong pitching lineup, including Paul Skenes.
