The Pirates signed Fletcher to a minor-league contract Monday, that includes an invitation to spring training,
Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Fletcher elected free agency back in October after being removed from the White Sox' 40-man roster, and he'll now head back to the National League. The 28-year-old has slashed only .233/.280/.325 in parts of three big-league seasons and, even with the Pirates' lack of outfield depth, will likely begin the 2026 season at Triple-A Indianapolis.
