The Miami Marlins and former Phillies outfielder Corey Dickerson have agreed on a two-year deal worth 17.5 million dollars, according to Jon Heyman of RADIO.COM. The deal is pending the results of a physical. He is the first player to receive a multi-year contract under the new ownership group in Miami led by Derek Jeter and Bruce Sherman.
Dickerson, 30, was acquired by the Phillies on July 31 in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates. For the relatively low cost of a player to be named later and international signing money, Dickerson was a productive hitter when healthy.
