Marlins' Jeff Locke: Inks one-year deal with Marlins
Locke agreed to a one-year, $3 million deal with the Marlins on Wednesday, the Miami Herald's Clark Spencer reports.
Analysis:
Locke will compete with Tom Koehler for the fifth spot in Miami's rotation. He has a career 4.41 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 644.1 innings, and has not posted a strikeout rate north of 18 percent since 2012. Last year was perhaps Locke's worst professional campaign, as he notched a 5.44 ERA and his strikeout rate fell to an abysmal 12.9 percent.
