Ziegler agreed to a two-year, $16 million contract with the Marlins on Friday, pending a physical, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Marlins, after missing out on one of the elite closers on the free agent market, have now shelled out a combined $28 million over the past two days to bring in Ziegler and Junichi Tazawa. Ziegler split the 2016 season between Arizona and Boston, posting a 2.25 ERA and 1.37 WHIP over 68 innings. The sidearmer boosted his K/9 rate back above 7.5 while maintaining a groundball rate over 63 percent. He's plenty capable of stepping into the closer role should A.J. Ramos falter.
