MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins are dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s this week.

Left-hander Wei-Yin Chen has finalized an $80 million, five-year contract with the Marlins.

The Marlins announced the agreement Tuesday and scheduled an afternoon news conference. Deal was struck last week with Chen, who can opt out after 2017 and has an option for 2021.

Chen, who is expected to be the No. 2 starter behind ace Jose Fernandez, went 46-32 with a 3.72 ERA in four seasons with the Orioles.
