Free agent shortstop Tim Anderson agrees to one-year deal with Marlins
View Date:2024-12-23 16:18:32
The Miami Marlins have reached an agreement with two-time All-Star shortstop Tim Anderson on a one-year, $5 million contract, according to a baseball official with direct knowledge of the deal.
The official spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because the deal has not yet been announced.
Anderson, who won the American League batting title in 2019 when he hit .335 for the Chicago White Sox, became a free agent this winter after eight seasons in Chicago when the team bought out the final year of his contract.
For his career, Anderson is a .282/.312/.422 hitter with 98 home runs and 117 stolen bases over eight seasons.
But after a pair of All-Star years in 2021 and 2022, Anderson had his worst season in the majors, hitting just .245 with one home run in 524 plate appearances.

Entering his age-31 season, Anderson will likely slot as the Marlins' starting shortstop, moving Jon Berti to a more familiar utility role.
The addition will give the Marlins a pair of batting champions in the middle infield by pairing Anderson with second baseman Luis Arraez.
