Pirates sign Yoshi Tsutsugo to one-year, $4 million deal

We’re a little late on this one, because we all took some time off for Thanksgiving, but the Pittsburgh Pirates re-signed outfielder/first baseman Yoshi Tsutsugo to a one-year, $4 million deal.

Yoshi came over to the Bucs in August after being released by the Los Angeles Dodgers and immediately became a fan favorite, flashing power that Pittsburg’s lineup sorely lacked by swatting 8 homers in 43 games. He finished his year with the Bucs by hitting .268 with 25 RBIs, but he had a slugging percentage of .535 sparked by those dingers and also 8 doubles and a triple.
