Marte signed a minor league deal with the Marlins that includes an invitation to spring training, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marte got his first taste of the big leagues last year when he pitched 3.1 innings out of the Pirates' bullpen. The 29-year-old lefty is coming off of productive 2015 and 2016 minor league campaigns in which he posted a 2.63 and 3.67 ERA, respectively. With very little major league experience, it will be interesting to see how he performs in his spring training opportunity with the Marlins.

Marte was designated for assignment by the Pirates on Tuesday, Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although none of the five runs the Brewers put up against Marte on Sunday were earned, it was a poor outing nonetheless (four hits, including two homers) and the Pirates have decided to move on. Marte, who put up a 3.67 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with Triple-A Indianapolis, will now be subjected to waivers.
