According to Sanspo, Ryota Igarashi has signed a split contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates. They also report that he turned down a similar offer from the Toronto Blue Jays because he apparently wanted to be closer to his NY home.
UPDATE @ 11:04am - Sponichi is reporting that the Pirates have a club option for a second year.
