Adam Frazier is making his return to the Pittsburgh Pirates after agreeing to a one-year contract worth $1.525 million, pending a physical. The 33-year-old infielder and outfielder previously played with the Pirates from 2016 to 2021, posting career stats of .283 batting average, 39 home runs, and 204 RBIs across 608 games. He was an All-Star in 2021 before being traded to the San Diego Padres.

Frazier has experienced a nomadic career since leaving Pittsburgh, with stints at Seattle, Baltimore, and Kansas City, where he struggled last season, hitting just .202 in 104 games. The Pirates are looking to utilize Frazier's versatility, filling a potential gap in their roster, particularly at right field after parting ways with Bryan De La Cruz.
