Pirates, Jose Rojas Agree To Minor League Deal
The Pirates are in agreement with Jose Rojas on a minor league contract, tweets Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He was assigned to Triple-A Indianapolis. Rojas, 31, has 83 games of MLB experience. That came entirely with the Angels between 2021-22. He struggled to a .188/.245/.339 slash line while striking out at a 28.6% clip across 241 plate appearances. Rojas hasn’t gotten to the big leagues in the past two years, but he has had a nice year in Triple-A. After signing an offseason minor league deal with the Yankees, he hit .254/.359/.561 with 18 home runs over 67 games for their top affiliate in Scranton. The Yankees nevertheless didn’t buy into his form, as they released him a couple weeks ago rather than add him to a struggling MLB infield.
