Marlins sign Miguel Olivo

The Marlins have signed catcher Miguel Olivo, reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.

The deal is still pending a physical, according to the report.

The Marlins traded catcher John Buck over the offseason, and only had prospect Rob Brantly as a viable option. Olivo should supply the team with sufficient depth at a spot where even depth is hard to come by.

Logan Morrison injury: Marlins 1B aiming for mid-May return

Marlins first baseman Logan Morrison is aiming for a mid-May return.

Olivo provides them with some pop from the catcher spot, but not much else in the way of offensive value. Olivo hit just .222 last season for the Mariners in 323 plate appearances.

Olivo has previously played for the Marlins, as well as the White Sox, Mariners (twice), Padres, Royals, and Rockies.

He hit 12 home runs last year, and has hit double-digit home runs in every season since 2005 (in which he hit 9).

With the Marlins not promising to be very good this year, this move likely won't have too many people up in arms.
