The Pirates signed Minaya to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Alex Stumpf of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.

Minaya's 2022 big-league performance was unremarkable, while his 6.98 ERA in Triple-A was even worse than his big-league mark. The righty reliever did post a 2.48 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 40 innings in 2021, so he could find a role in Pittsburgh's bullpen if he returns to form.
