Felix Pie has officially agreed to a contract with the Hanwah Eagles of the Korean Baseball Organization.

Pie, a former top prospect with the Cubs, batted .138 with a .366 OPS in 31 plate appearances this past season with the Pirates. It's likely a one-year deal.

FOX Sports' Jon Morosi reports that Felix Pie is nearing an agreement with the Hanwah Eagles of the Korean League.

Pie has received just 31 plate appearances in the majors over the last two seasons, so he's going to try his luck overseas. He batted .251/.325/.390 with eight homers and 38 steals at Triple-A in 2013.

Felix Pie has elected free agency.

Pie had already been slated for free agency in a couple days, but he gets a head start after the Pirates removed him from their 40-man roster. The outfielder had four hits in 29 at-bats this season for Pittsburgh.

Pirates purchased the contract of OF Felix Pie from Triple-A Indianapolis.

Pie will bat leadoff and start in left field Wednesday against the Padres. He'll provide some depth with Starling Marte (finger) sidelined. The former top prospect was hitting .251/.325/.390 with eight homers and 38 stolen bases in Triple-A. The 28-year-old hasn't played in the majors since 2011.

Non-roster invitee Felix Pie has played himself into serious consideration for a reserve outfielder job on the Pirates' Opening Day roster.

Despite the fact that he made his Major League debut in 2007, Pie is still only 28-years-old. He's hitting .308 with two homers, eight RBI and a pair of steals in 22 games this spring, while playing tremendous defense in the outfield. They're only likely to keep one or two of Pie, Brad Hawpe and Alex Presley, but Pie has certainly done everything in his power to earn the opportunity.

Pirates signed OF Felix Pie to a minor league contract.

The deal includes a spring training invite and incentives for plate appearances if the former top prospect makes the major league roster. Pie, who turns 28 in February, batted .285/.338/.549 with six home runs, 51 RBI and 16 stolen bases in 96 games with the Braves' Triple-A affiliate this season. He hasn't appeared in the majors since 2011 with the Orioles.

Felix Pie has elected free agency.

Remarkably, though he's already played in 11 professional seasons, Pie will be just 28-years-old when the 2013 season begins. He hit a solid .285/.338/.459 with six homers, 51 RBI and 16 steals in 96 games for Triple-A Gwinnett and should generate a fair amount of interest on the free agent market.

Braves signed OF Felix Pie to a minor league contract.

Pie was hitting .360 with three homers and 12 RBI in 13 games for the Camden Riversharks of the independent Atlantic League. He's been sent to Triple-A Gwinnett, where he'll provide outfield depth for the Braves.

Felix Pie is back in the Indians' lineup Wednesday against the Giants.

Pie exited Sunday's Cactus League game after crashing into the center-field wall, but he was able to avoid serious injury. The 27-year-old is competing for a reserve outfielder job this spring.

Felix Pie is day-to-day with "general stiffness."

Pie was removed from Sunday's Cactus League game with what were originally diagnosed as concussion-likely symptoms after running into the outfield wall. But he did not suffer a head injury, and should be able to resume his quest for an Opening Day bench spot later this week.

Felix Pie was forced from Sunday's game with concussion-like symptons.

Pie ran into the outfield wall chasing a fly ball and remained on the ground for several minutes before being escorted to the clubhouse. Manager Manny Acta said Pie passed initial concussion tests but undergo further testing this week.

Indians signed OF Felix Pie to a minor league contract.

He'll get an invite to spring training and can earn up to $1 million if he makes the team and hits his performance bonuses. Pie has managed just a .249/.298/.374 batting line with 17 homers and 20 steals over 964 career major league at-bats but will turn just 27 in February and still has a shot to at least be a useful extra outfielder.

Former Orioles OF Felix Pie has elected to become a minor league free agent.

The former top prospect is in need of a fresh start. Pie is a terrific athlete and has put up nice minor league numbers, but he's managed just a .249/.298/.374 batting line with 17 homers and 20 steals over 964 career major league at-bats. He'll have to settle for a minor league deal with someone but could easily make a team as a fourth or fifth outfielder. Pie will turn 27 in February.

Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports that Felix Pie is expected to accept an assignment to Triple-A Norfolk.

Pie cleared waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week, but he has the right to reject a minor league assignment. The 26-year-old outfielder would give up the remainder of his $985,000 salary for this season if he declares free agency, so he is expected to stick around.

Felix Pie has cleared waivers.

Pie was designated for assignment by the Orioles earlier this week. It's not yet clear if he will accept a minor league assignment or declare free agency and look for an opportunity elsewhere.

Orioles designated OF Felix Pie for assignment.

He was cleared to make room for Jake Fox on the 40-man roster. Pie, now 26 years old, has regressed in a big way this season, batting just .220/.264/.280 with a .545 OPS over 175 plate appearances. The former top prospect showed some promise in 2009 and 2010, so we wouldn't be surprised if another organization makes a claim.

Though he wouldn't commit to a straight platoon, Orioles manager Buck Showalter expects to give Felix Pie and Nolan Reimold the most time in left field following Luke Scott's injury.

"I wouldn't commit to something straight (platoon-wise)," Showalter said. "Let's just see how it goes. We got a string here where we got left-right-left-right-left-right. I will try to get them both some at-bats." Reimold is starting Tuesday against lefty Matt Harrison, and Showalter said he "wouldn't be surprised" if Pie plays Wednesday against righty Alexi Ogando. But, he also added that "if Nolan gets it going, I might ride with him." We'd like Reimold to get an extended look, and it sounds like he will if he gets hot.

Felix Pie will play Friday against the Blue Jays, despite hitting a ball off his right foot during batting practice.

Good news. Pie will start in left field and bat leadoff against right-hander Carlos Villanueva.

The Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec expects both Felix Pie and Nolan Reimold to remain in Baltimore even after the Orioles' acquisition of Vladimir Guerrero.

Zrebiec does add that he wouldn't be stunned if Pie was traded, Reimold started the season at Triple-A and Randy Winn was the fourth outfielder. But, he thinks it's likely the two will battle for the fourth outfielder job, with Pie the odds-on favorite because he's out of options. The Orioles would like some more pitching depth even after adding Justin Duchscherer, but as it stands right now, they'll let Chris Tillman and Jake Arrieta fight for the final spot in the rotation.

Orioles and OF Felix Pie avoided arbitration Tuesday by agreeing to a one-year, $985,000 contract.

Pie was eligible for arbitration this winter for the first time in his rather active career. The speedy outfielder finished with a .274/.305/.413 batting line over 288 at-bats last season while stealing five bases in seven chances. He shouldn't be a very attractive fantasy option in 2011.
