Report: Marlins ink Pierre

Posted: November 18, 2012

The Miami Marlins, who last week traded away a large chunk of their team - and contractual obligations - reportedly agreed to terms with Phillies free-agent outfielder Juan Pierre on Saturday.

CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman reported the agreement. No terms were available.

Pierre, a 13-year veteran, signed a minor-league contract with the Phillies in January and was invited to spring training. He wound up staying with the team through the entire season, playing in 130 games and batting .307 with a .351 on-base percentage. He stole 37 bases and was caught just seven times, an 84 percent success rate.

It will be the second stint with the Marlins for Pierre, 35.
