Former National League MVP Andrew McCutchen is returning to the Pittsburgh Pirates for his 17th major-league season.
The team announced his signing Monday but didn’t release contract terms. Multiple reports said McCutchen will earn $5 million.
Now 38, McCutchen broke into the big leagues in 2009 with the Pirates and played in Pittsburgh through the 2017 season, winning the MVP in 2013 and earning five All-Star selections in that span.
He later played for the San Francisco Giants (2018), New York Yankees (2018), Philadelphia Phillies (2019-21) and Milwaukee Brewers (2022) before returning to the Pirates.
Last season, McCutchen hit .232 with 104 hits, 20 home runs and 50 RBIs in 120 games. He was the Pirates’ designated hitter in all but seven of those games.
He has played in 2,127 games — most among active players — and has a career average of .273 with 319 homers and 1,095 RBIs.
