PITTSBURGH — Rowdy Tellez and the Pittsburgh Pirates have agreed to a $3.2 million, one-year contract. The first baseman and designated hitter can earn $800,000 in performance bonuses as part of the deal, which is pending a successful physical. The 28-year-old Tellez hit .215 with 13 home runs and 47 RBIs for Milwaukee in 2023. The left-handed batter is a career .233 hitter in six seasons with Toronto and Milwaukee. The Pirates entered the offseason in need of help at first base. Connor Joe and Jared Triolo, among others, spent time at the position during the final two months of the 2023 season.
