Chris Paddack Signs 1-Year, $4M Deal with Marlins, Eyes Rotation Spot

Right-hander Chris Paddack has officially signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Miami Marlins, including $500,000 in incentives. He is expected to compete for the fifth spot in the Marlins' rotation this spring. Last season, Paddack posted a 5.35 ERA and 5-12 record over 32 appearances (28 starts) with the Twins and Tigers. Originally drafted by Miami in 2015, this marks his return to the organization after being traded in 2016.
