Report: Jake Lamb reaches minor league deal with Pirates

Jake Lamb, a 10-year major leaguer who has played for seven organizations, agreed to a minor league deal Thursday with the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.

Since playing seven seasons with the Arizona Diamondbacks to begin his career, Lamb has not played more than 43 games with any other of his six organizations. The infielder/outfielder played 18 games with the Los Angeles Angels in 2023 and batted .216 with two home runs and five RBIs.

In 723 career games, Lamb is a .235 hitter with 96 home runs and 342 RBIs.

Lamb, 33, was an All-Star in 2017 when he hit 30 home runs with 105 RBIs for the Diamondbacks. Lamb, however, has never hit more than seven home runs in a single season since while dealing with left shoulder issues.

Lamb is expected to receive an invite to major league camp at spring training.
