Gonzalez signed a one-year, $1.225 million contract with the Pirates on Wednesday, avoiding arbitration, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gonzalez appeared in 50 games for the Pirates in 2020, but he had a slow finish to the year, going just 1-for-24 with one RBI, one walk and nine strikeouts over his final seven contests. He'll avoid arbitration in his second year of eligibility, and the 29-year-old should serve as a utility infielder once again in 2021.
