Marlins signed RHP Kevin Slowey to a minor league contract. The deal presumably includes a spring training invite, where he could be in the mix for the fifth spot in the starting rotation. Slowey posted a 5.14 ERA and 34/13 K/BB ratio over 49 innings with the Indians' Triple-A affiliate in 2012 and missed a large chunk of the season with a stress fracture in his rib cage. The 28-year-old has a 4.66 ERA over five seasons in the majors.
