The Miami Marlins<\/a> are signing left-handed reliever John King<\/a> to a one-year, $1.5 million deal to bolster their bullpen, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old King became a free agent in November after being non-tendered by the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

King had a 2-1 record with a 4.66 ERA in 51 appearances with the Cardinals last season. He spent the past 2 1\/2 seasons in St. Louis after beginning his MLB career in 2020 with the Texas Rangers<\/a>. He is 16-14 with a career 3.80 ERA over 253 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n

The Marlins have been busy in free agency recently, agreeing on Monday to sign right-hander Chris Paddack<\/a> to a $4 million, one-year contract. Miami also signed right-handed reliever Pete Fairbanks<\/a> and utility player Christopher Morel<\/a> in December.<\/p>\n

King will join Cade Gibson<\/a>, Josh Simpson<\/a> and Andrew Nardi<\/a> as the left-handed relievers on the Marlins’ 40-man roster.<\/p>\n
