Andrew McCutchen is headed back to where it all started. The veteran outfielder is signing a deal with the Pirates, the same team with which he broke out as an MLB star, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Pittsburgh is reportedly signing McCutchen to a one year deal, pending a physical.
The Pirates drafted McCutchen in the first round of the 2005 MLB draft, and the outfielder would become a franchise cornerstone. Starting with his MLB debut in 2009, McCutchen became one of the best players in the league while manning center field in Pittsburgh, which included an MVP season in 2013.
