MLB Rumors: Andrew McCutchen, Pirates Agree to New 1-Year, $5M Contract

Andrew McCutchen's Pittsburgh reunion will reportedly last for more than one season.

The designated hitter/outfielder agreed to a new one-year, $5 million deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday, per Jason Mackey of the Post-Gazette.

While McCutchen's decision to return to the Pirates on a one-year deal was one of MLB's feel-good stories last offseason, his name popped up in trade rumors in June when Jon Morosi of MLB Network reported the team was "likely to be deadline sellers" and could look to move the veteran and perhaps bring him back again next offseason.
