News of the deal was first reported by The Athletic.
Last a designated hitter with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Pederson, 32, declined his mutual option for the 2025 season.
He hit .275 with 23 home runs and 64 RBIs in 2024, his first season with the Diamondbacks after signing a one-year, $9.5 million dollar contract last offseason. The option for 2025 would have paid $14 million.
