SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Pirates are bringing back A.J. Burnett.
The club and Burnett, who last week turned down the player option he held with the Phillies, reached agreement on a contract for the 2015 season Friday.
Pirates general manager Neal Huntington and Burnett will address the reunion on a media conference call at 4:30 p.m. ET.
Burnett signed with Philadelphia in 2014 after having gone 26-21 with the Bucs in 2012-13. At the time, he was most interested in pitching closer to his home.
