The Marlins announced that they have signed Casey Kotchman to a minor league deal with an invite to big league camp. Kotchman is represented by Casey Close of Excel Sports Management.
Kotchman, who turns 30 next Friday, hit .229/.280/.333 with 12 homers in 142 games for the Indians last season. Things have been quiet for Kotchman this offseason but he reportedly drew some interest from the Red Sox earlier this winter.
