Pirates To Sign Erik Bedard - 美國職棒

The Pirates have agreed to sign lefty Erik Bedard, MLBTR has confirmed.
Canadian journalist Marc Brassard first tweeted news of an impending $4.5MM
deal.

Bedard, 32, is coming off his healthiest season since 2007. This year for
the Mariners and Red Sox he posted a 3.62 ERA, 8.7 K/9, 3.3 BB/9, 0.97 HR/9,
and 42% groundball rate in 129 1/3 innings. He missed time with knee and lat
sprains, which wasn't too bad after shoulder surgeries limited him to 164
innings for 2008-09. The signing has upside for the Pirates, who needed some
depth after losing Paul Maholm to free agency. Additionally, Charlie Morton
had hip surgery in October and could miss the start of the season.
