Pirates add Holland, Erlin, Riddle ahead of spring training
Left-handers Derek Holland and Robbie Erlin agreed to minor league contracts with the Pittsburgh Pirates along with catcher Andrew Susac and outfielder Charlie Tilson, and all four will report to big league spring training. Pittsburgh also agreed to an $850,000, one-year contract with infielder/outfielder  JT Riddle, who became a free agent when Miami failed to offer a contract by the Dec. 2 deadline. The 33-year-old Holland is 78-78 with a 4.54 ERA in 11 seasons, most with the Texas Rangers. Holland split time between San Francisco and the Chicago Cubs last year, going 2-5 with a 6.08 ERA.
