The Miami Marlins have agreed to a one-year contract with free-agent left-hander Jeff Locke, pending a physical, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.
Terms of the deal haven't been revealed yet, though Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reports it's worth about $3 million.
Over the course of his career, Locke spent all six of his major-league seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates, garnering an All-Star nod in 2013.
Last year, Locke struggled, going 9-8 with a 5.44 ERA, striking out 73 batters over 127 1/3 innings of work.
The 29-year-old is expected to join Edinson Volquez, Adam Conley, Wei-Yin Chen, and Tom Koehler in the rotation.
