FOX Sports' Jon Morosi reports that Felix Pie is nearing an agreement with the Hanwah Eagles of the Korean League.
Pie has received just 31 plate appearances in the majors over the last two seasons, so he's going to try his luck overseas. He batted .251/.325/.390 with eight homers and 38 steals at Triple-A in 2013. Dec 9 - 8:08 PM

Felix Pie - OF - Pirates

Felix Pie - OF - Pirates

Pirates purchased the contract of OF Felix Pie from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Pie will bat leadoff and start in left field Wednesday against the Padres. He'll provide some depth with Starling Marte (finger) sidelined. The former top prospect was hitting .251/.325/.390 with eight homers and 38 stolen bases in Triple-A. The 28-year-old hasn't played in the majors since 2011 and is doubtful to hold fantasy value.

Felix Pie - OF - Pirates

Non-roster invitee Felix Pie has played himself into serious consideration for a reserve outfielder job on the Pirates' Opening Day roster.

Despite the fact that he made his Major League debut in 2007, Pie is still only 28-years-old. He's hitting .308 with two homers, eight RBI and a pair of steals in 22 games this spring, while playing tremendous defense in the outfield. They're only likely to keep one or two of Pie, Brad Hawpe and Alex Presley, but Pie has certainly done everything in his power to earn the opportunity.

Felix Pie - OF - Pirates

Pirates signed OF Felix Pie to a minor league contract.

The deal includes a spring training invite and incentives for plate appearances if the former top prospect makes the major league roster. Pie, who turns 28 in February, batted .285/.338/.549 with six home runs, 51 RBI and 16 stolen bases in 96 games with the Braves' Triple-A affiliate this season. He hasn't appeared in the majors since 2011 with the Orioles.

Felix Pie - OF - Pirates

Felix Pie has elected free agency.

Remarkably, though he's already played in 11 professional seasons, Pie will be just 28-years-old when the 2013 season begins. He hit a solid .285/.338/.459 with six homers, 51 RBI and 16 steals in 96 games for Triple-A Gwinnett and should generate a fair amount of interest on the free agent market.

Felix Pie - OF - Pirates

Braves signed OF Felix Pie to a minor league contract.

Pie was hitting .360 with three homers and 12 RBI in 13 games for the Camden Riversharks of the independent Atlantic League. He's been sent to Triple-A Gwinnett, where he'll provide outfield depth for the Braves.

Felix Pie - OF - Pirates

Indians released OF Felix Pie.

Pie batted .303 (10-for-33) with one double, one triple and four RBI this spring, but it wasn't enough to snag a bench spot. The former top prospect will hope to latch on elsewhere.

Felix Pie - OF - Pirates

Felix Pie is day-to-day with "general stiffness."

Pie was removed from Sunday's Cactus League game with what were originally diagnosed as concussion-likely symptoms after running into the outfield wall. But he did not suffer a head injury, and should be able to resume his quest for an Opening Day bench spot later this week.

Felix Pie - OF - Pirates

Felix Pie - OF - Pirates

Indians signed OF Felix Pie to a minor league contract.

He'll get an invite to spring training and can earn up to $1 million if he makes the team and hits his performance bonuses. If he doesn't make the Opening Day roster, he can request his release. Pie has managed just a .249/.298/.374 batting line with 17 homers and 20 steals over 964 career major league at-bats but will turn just 27 in February and still has a shot to at least be a useful extra outfielder.

Felix Pie - OF - Pirates

Former Orioles OF Felix Pie has elected to become a minor league free agent.

The former top prospect is in need of a fresh start. Pie is a terrific athlete and has put up nice minor league numbers, but he's managed just a .249/.298/.374 batting line with 17 homers and 20 steals over 964 career major league at-bats. He'll have to settle for a minor league deal with someone but could easily make a team as a fourth or fifth outfielder. Pie will turn 27 in February.

Felix Pie - OF - Pirates

Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports that Felix Pie is expected to accept an assignment to Triple-A Norfolk.

Pie cleared waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week, but he has the right to reject a minor league assignment. The 26-year-old outfielder would give up the remainder of his $985,000 salary for this season if he declares free agency, so he is expected to stick around.
