The Pirates have acquired 32-year old righty swinging outfielder Jason Michaels and cash from the Indians for a player to be named later. Michaels played in 21 games for the Indians this season and he was 12 for 58 (.207 avg, .534 OPS) with 3 runs scored, 9 RBIs and 1 stolen base. Michaels has now played in 632 games in his major league career and he is 451 for 1,627 (.277 avg, .764 OPS) with 257 runs scored, 37 homers, 203 RBIs and 19 stolen bases. This was a solid move for the Pirates as Michaels will be a solid player off the bench for them.
