First baseman Corey Hart and the Pittsburgh Pirates have agreed to a $2.5 million, one-year contract.

The 32-year-old Hart hit .203 with six home runs and 21 RBI in 68 games for the Seattle Mariners in 2014, most of them as a designated hitter, and became a free agent in October when he refused an outright assignment to the minor leagues.
