"The Miami Marlins are signing left-handed reliever John King to a one-year deal to bolster their bullpen, a person familiar with the move told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been finalized. It was first reported by ESPN. The 31-year-old King became a free agent in November after being non-tendered by the St. Louis Cardinals. His contract will be worth $1.5 million, per ESPN."
"King had a 2-1 record with a 4.66 ERA in 51 appearances with the Cardinals last season. He spent the past 2 1/2 seasons in St. Louis after beginning his MLB career in 2020 with the Texas Rangers. He is 16-14 with a career 3.80 ERA over 253 1/3 innings. The Marlins have been busy in free agency recently, agreeing on Monday to sign right-hander Chris Paddack to a $4 million, one-year contract."
