The Pittsburgh Pirates have agreed to a one-year, $12 million deal with veteran slugger Marcell Ozuna, sources confirmed to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
The deal, which was first reported Monday by the New York Post, is pending a physical and also includes a mutual option for 2027, sources told Passan.
The deal will pay Ozuna $10.5 million in 2026, with a $16 million option for 2027 that has a $1.5 million buyout, according to sources.
The Pirates hope that Ozuna, 35, will beef up an offense that finished with 117 home runs last season, by far the lowest in the majors.
