Report: Former Pirates All-Star To Sign Minor League Deal With AL Team

Former Pittsburgh Pirates All-Star Adam Frazier is reportedly joining the Los Angeles Angels.

“Adam Frazier has a locker in the #Angels clubhouse. It’s a Minor League deal,” MLB.com Angels beat reporter Rhett Bollinger posted on X.

The Pirates selected the 34-year-old second baseman and outfielder in the sixth round of the 2013 MLB June Amateur Draft and he made his big-league debut with the club three years later.

Frazier spent the first five-plus seasons of his career in Pittsburgh and earned an NL All-Star nod in 2021.

He recorded four home runs, 32 RBIs and career bests in batting average (.324), on-base percentage (.388) and OPS (.836) across 98 games with the Pirates that year before being traded to the San Diego Padres in July.

Frazier was sent to San Diego with cash in exchange for a package that included outfielder Jack Suwinski, who Pittsburgh reportedly designated for assignment on Monday.

Frazier played the 2022 campaign with the Seattle Mariners, the 2023 season with the Baltimore Orioles and suited up for the Kansas City Royals in 2024.

The Mississippi State product re-signed with the Pirates in January 2025 and played 78 contests in Pittsburgh last season before being traded back to the Royals in July.

Frazier finished the 2025 campaign with seven home runs, 44 RBIs and a .267/.319/.365 triple slash over 459 plate appearances covering 134 games.
