Pirates, Rodriguez agree to 1-year deal

Sean Rodriguez is ready to bring his defensive versatility back to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The 30-year-old super utility player agreed to a one-year, $2.5-million deal Thursday to rejoin the Pirates.

Rodriguez played six positions for the club last season, mainly slotting in at first base, while hitting .246/.281/.362 with four home runs and 17 RBIs.

The veteran's season ended on a rough note when he was ejected during the National League wild-card game for his role in a benches-clearing incident.

He later took out his frustrations on a water cooler.
