Pirates agree to minor-league deal with Travis Snider

The Pittsburgh Pirates have agreed to terms with outfielder Travis Snider on a minor-league deal, according to Adam Berry of MLB.com.

The Pirates are familiar with the 27-year-old as he appeared in 301 games for Pittsburgh between 2012-2014. His signing should be seen as a depth move, though there's speculation he could be brought in to replace struggling first baseman Travis Ishikawa.

Snider was designated for assignment and released by the Baltimore Orioles after his playing time dipped following the acquisition of Gerardo Parra.

The eight-year vet is batting .237/.328/.342 in 69 games.
