A slow winter for the Marlins finally brought some news on Tuesday.
The Marlins signed veteran infielder Neil Walker to a one-year contract, the team announced.
Walker, 33 and a veteran of 10 Major League seasons, played five different positions last season for the Yankees and, as a switch-hitter, provides the lineup with a much-needed left-handed bat.
Walker hit just .219 with 11 home runs last season for the Yankees. But, over his career, he has hit .268 with 141 home runs with four different teams, including seven seasons with the Pirates.
