MIAMI — The Miami Marlins have secured a one-year contract with infielder Eric Wagaman, which is worth $770,000 when in the major leagues and $200,000 if he plays in the minors.

The Marlins confirmed the signing on Friday, signaling their intentions for the upcoming season. As a result of this move, infielder Vidal Bruján has been designated for assignment, allowing Wagaman to take his place on the team’s 40-man roster.

Wagaman, who recently turned 27, made his major league debut with the Los Angeles Angels last September. In his short stint in the big leagues, he managed to achieve a batting average of .250, hitting two home runs and driving in 10 runs across 18 games. During this period, he made 17 starts at third base, showcasing his versatility by also making one appearance in left field.

In addition to his time in the majors, Wagaman had a productive season in the minors, finishing with a .274 batting average, along with 17 home runs and 60 RBIs over the course of 121 games split between two minor league teams this year.

Overall, the Marlins are hoping that Wagaman’s experience and performance will add depth to their roster as they prepare for the next season.
