Marlins sign Joe Beimel to minors contract

Miami Marlins left-handed pitcher Joe Beimel signed to a minor league contract.

What It Means:

Beimel auditioned for teams earlier this month and apparently caught the eye of the Marlins. He'll head to extended spring training for a bit and will likely then report to Triple-A New Orleans.

The veteran left-hander posted a 3.99 ERA across 47 1/3 innings last season for the Seattle Mariners while battling shoulder problems.
