MIAMI (AP) β A person familiar with the negotiations says first baseman Mike Morse has agreed to a two-year contract with the Miami Marlins pending a physical.
The person confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because it had not been finalized.
Last season Morse hit .279 with 16 homers and 61 RBIs in 131 games for the World Series champion San Francisco Giants. He batted .300 in the postseason and had four RBIs in the World Series.
The deal is the latest in a busy offseason for the Marlins. They signed Giancarlo Stanton to a record $325 million contract, and then traded for All-Star second baseman Dee Gordon, right-hander Mat Latos and right-hander Dan Haren, who has indicated he might retire.
