Freese signed a one-year deal with the Pirates on Friday.

Analysis:

Freese saw a 40-point uptick in OPS between 2014 and 2015 with the Angels, but had to wait until March to find a team. The 32-year-old will likely take over starting third baseman duties for Pittsburgh while Jung-Ho Kung is sidelined with a knee injury.
