Pirates signed RHP Kade McClure to a minor league contract.
McClure made nine relief appearances last year for Triple-A Sacramento in the Giants’ minor-league system. The towering 6-foot-7 righty has converted to a bullpen role after spending the previous few years developing as a starter. At 27 years old, he’s likely running out of time to make it to the big leagues, but he’ll get a new opportunity in Pittsburgh.
