UPDATE: ESPN’s Buster Olney reports that the Yankees never made Martin an offer. In fact, they haven’t made an offer to any position players so far this offseason.
8:44 PM: David Waldstein of the New York Times reports that Martin agreed to a two-year, $17 million deal with the Pirates. You could understand if the Yankees balked at a three-year deal at $8.5 million AAV, but it’s surprising that they weren’t willing to match the Pirates for two years.
Also Yankees signed Mo to a 1 year 10 million dollar deal today

The Pirates paid someone to play baseball for them?

What are the pirates thinking here?

I don't like it, but I can live with it instead of 3/$25M like rumored

A catcher who draws walks and hits for power.
Seems like a solid signing for a team that needed a catcher.

I thought he wanted years. 2 years isn't that bad. Sure, he's overpaid, but so are most free agents. The good news for the Pirates is they aren't stuck overpaying him for half a decade.
He draws a walk and has some pop. He's not worthless and the free agent catcher pickings are mighty slim, as per the norm.
