The Pirates and lefty Josh Fleming are in agreement on a split major league contract, reports Robert Murray of FanSided. The Republik Sports client will earn $850K if he's in the big leagues. Pittsburgh will need to open a spot on the 40-man roster for Fleming to make the contract official.
The 27-year-old Fleming pitched for the Rays in each of the past four seasons, working out of both the bullpen and the starting rotation at times. Fleming also operated as a bulk reliever following an opener in Tampa Bay at times. He has just 2.144 years of Major League service time and can thus be controlled for another four seasons.
