Report: Marlins agree to deal with Edwin Jackson

The Miami Marlins have reached an agreement with free-agent pitcher Edwin Jackson, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network.

The deal with the right-hander is pending a physical, and terms are currently unknown.

Jackson signed a four-year, $52-million contract with the Chicago Cubs in 2013, but was released this past season, with the Cubs eating the final $13 million owed. Whatever the Marlins pay Jackson - likely the league minimum - will be subtracted from the amount Chicago must pay.

Following his release from the Cubs, Jackson signed on for the rest of the 2015 season with the Atlanta Braves and finished with a 3.07 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 47 relief appearances split between Chicago and Atlanta.

The 32-year-old Jackson has mostly been a starter during his major-league career, starting 262 of 340 games since breaking into the league in 2003. He has a career record of 88-107 with a 4.58 ERA and 1.45 WHIP.
