ESPN also reports Morse will be able to earn performance bonuses.
The 32-year-old Morse played last season for the World Series champion San Francisco Giants. The right-handed hitter played in 131 regular season games as an outfielder, first baseman and designated hitter, hitting .279 with 16 home runs and 61 RBIs.
Morse has played 10 major league seasons with stints in Seattle, Washington, Baltimore, and San Francisco. He’s a career .281 hitter with 99 home runs and 333 RBIs.
Morse becomes the latest in a flurry of acquisitions made by the Marlins this offseason. Miami signed outfielder Giancarlo Stanton to a $325 million contract, and also traded for second baseman Dee Gordon and pitchers Mat Latos and Dan Haren.
