Pittsburgh Pirates Sign UDFA Catcher Joe Jimenez

Last night, the Pittsburgh Pirates announced via Twitter that the team had agreed to terms with right-handed pitcher Nick Garcia. Garcia was the last player the team had to sign from their 2020 draft class. The third round pick signed for $1.2 million per Jim Callis, about $420,000 over slot. Ben Cherington officially added one hitter and five new pitchers to the organization via the draft, spending all but $87,100 of their draft bonus pool.

One area the Pittsburgh Pirates have not been overly aggressive in has been the undrafted free agent front. After the draft ended, the club signed only player in Parker Brahms, a right-handed pitcher from Sacramento State.
