The Pirates signed righty Vinnie Chulk to a minor league deal, according to a team press release. Chulk, 31 later this month, tossed 12 innings with the Indians and another 21.6 in Triple A. The Indians designated him for assignment in May and he cleared waivers. MLB.com's Jenifer Langosch notes that the Pirates also signed Wilfredo Ledezma to a minor league deal recently.
