Jonathan Sanchez nearing deal with Pirates
Jonathan Sanchez - S - Colorado Rockies
Feb. 4, 2013 - 6:50 PM ET

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Pirates are close to signing Jonathan Sanchez.

It's presumably a minor league deal. Heyman says that Sanchez is "healthy and has worked all winter on his mechanics," but we'll need to see it before we believe it following a year where he posted an 8.07 ERA over 15 starts. The left-hander turned 30 over the winter.
