According to Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald, the Miami Marlins agreed to terms with free agent righty starter Edinson Volquez Monday night.
The deal is for 2 years and $22 million, not bad for a guy with World Series experience and a once upon a time All-Star nod to his name. Of course, he’s relatively affordable on account of his rather unspectacular 2016 season. After two years of maintaining a respectable ERA in the low to mid 3s, he put up an abysmal 5.37 this past year.
But he pitched a lot of innings while doing so, something that has both been a constant throughout his career, and was also something the Marlins were heavily interested in adding to their 2017 rotation.
