The Marlins made it official on Friday, signing veteran reliever Sergio Romo to a 1-year deal.

Romo will reportedly make $2.5 million, according to MLB.com.

Romo, 35, has spent 11 seasons in the majors, most of them with the Giants, and appeared in 643 games. He spent last season with the Tampa Bay Rays, appearing in 73 games with a 4.14 ERA.

Romo gives the Marlins a veteran bullpen piece that they were lacking. And he also brings postseason experience. He pitched on three World Series winning teams with the Giants.
