Travis Snider returns to Pirates on minor league deal

The Pittsburgh Pirates have brought outfielder Travis Snider back to the team on a minor league deal.

What It Means:

Snider originally joined the Pirates near the trade deadline back in 2012. He spent 2013 and 2014 in Pittsburgh before being traded to the Orioles this past off-season. Baltimore released Snider earlier in August.

Snider never got the stick going while with the Orioles, posting a .237/.318/.341 slash with three home runs over 236 plate appearances. His hard-hit rate was slightly above average at 29.0 perent, up from his 26.6 percent mark in his final year with the Pirates.
