HBT: Marlins sign free agent OF Juan Pierre

As originally reported by Craig Mish of Sirius XM and then confirmed by ESPN?s Buster Olney, the Marlins have signed veteran outfielder Juan Pierre.

Terms of the agreement have not been disclosed.

Pierre, 35, batted .307/.351/.371 in 439 plate appearances this past season for the Phillies, successfully swiping 37 bases in 44 attempts.

The Marlins are expected to feature Logan Morrison much more regularly at first base in 2013, so there should be a good amount of playing time available for Pierre in that Miami outfield. Who says the Fish aren?t trying to build a contender? OK, don?t answer that.

*********************

UPDATE, 10:18 PM: Juan C. Rodriguez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that Pierre is getting a one-year contract from the Marlins?worth $1.6 million and will vie for playing time in left field.
