The Miami Marlins are signing right-hander Chris Paddack to a one-year deal, MLB Network reported Monday.

The 30-year-old free agent's deal is worth $4 million plus up to an additional $500,000 in incentives, per the report.


Paddack was originally drafted by Miami in the eighth round in 2015 but was traded to San Diego the next year.

He split last season with Detroit and Minnesota, going 5-12 with a 5.35 ERA and one save in 33 games (28 starts).

Paddack is 32-36 with a 4.64 ERA in 118 games (110 starts) with the Padres (2019-21), Twins (2022-25) and Tigers.
