By Zach Links [January 13 at 11:07pm CST]
The Pirates and D.J. Carrasco have agreed to terms on a minor league deal, reports Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. If the right-handed reliever makes the team, he will earn $950K in base pay plus as much as $250K in performance bonuses.

The 32-year-old posted a 3.76 ERA and 6.0 K/9 in 49 appearances for the White Sox last season. Despite this, the club decided to non-tender him, citing budget concerns

That sucks for him as he will most likely start on that team which is not his strenght.

If the soxs miss him this year that means our starters aren't getting the job done, but I'm surprised he couldn't get a better offer than that.

DJ's biggest issue is that you can likely find a guy in the minors with similar stuff for less money. He'll probably make the squad and be a cheap 5th starter.
