Pirates To Sign Jason Grilli http://t.co/QZSrD0Rs The Pirates have agreed to sign free agent reliever Jason Grilli to a two-year deal, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports (on Twitter). Former MLB player Gary Sheffield represents the 36-year-old right-hander. Grilli enjoyed tremendous success in the Pirates' bullpen from 2011-12. He posted a 2.91 ERA with 13.8 K/9, 3.4 BB.9 and a 30.7% ground ball rate in 58 2/3 innings for Pittsburgh this past season and earned $1.1MM. Grilli's strikeout rate increased yet again in 2012, when he struck out 90 of the 244 batters he faced. Grilli ranked 33rd on MLBTR's list of top 50 free agents. The Cubs, Blue Jays and Giants were among the finalists for Grilli, Peter Gammons of MLB Network reported last week. The ten-year veteran turned down slightly bigger offers elsewhere to stay in Pittsburgh, Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com reports (on Twitter). -- https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/278240019142021120 Source: Grilli back to #Pirates.
