Russell Martin signed with the Pirates as they attempt to break .500 for the first time in two decades.

While the catcher is happy with his situation, he admitted that he expected to re-sign with the Yankees.

"I thought I was going to be in pinstripes," Martin said. "I thought I was going to be penciled in there, but shows how much I know. There's really no hard feelings or anything like that. I see it as a business move, and that's it, really. ... There's no regrets, that's all I can say. I have no regrets. I am where I am, I'm happy, and I'm just ready to take on the season and see what happens."
