Pirates Show Interest in Free Agent Verdugo

News summary

The Oakland Athletics have signed outfielder/designated hitter Brent Rooker to a five-year, $60 million extension, reflecting their aggressive offseason spending. Rooker, who hit 39 home runs and had a .293 batting average last season, has been a key contributor for the team. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Pirates are actively pursuing free agent outfielder Alex Verdugo, who is coming off a disappointing season with the Yankees. Verdugo, who previously excelled with the Dodgers and Red Sox, is seen as a potential fit for the Pirates' outfield, although no deal is imminent. The Mets are also interested in Verdugo alongside other teams, as they seek to bolster their lineup during the offseason. Additionally, former Pirates pitcher Charlie Morton has signed a one-year deal with the Baltimore Orioles, indicating the ongoing movement in player transactions as teams prepare for the upcoming season.
