Tazawa signed a two-year, $12 million contract with the Marlins on Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

After seven seasons in Boston, Tazawa is headed to Miami to help shore up the back-end of the Marlins' bullpen. The right-hander posted ERAs north of 4.00 in his final two season with the Red Sox and had some major home run issues in 2016, but Tazawa managed a 26 percent strikeout rate and has a track record of effectiveness against both left- and right-handed hitters. He should easily get to double-digit holds again while helping to set up for closer A.J. Ramos.
