MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) – The Miami Marlins and Jesús Aguilar reached an agreement Tuesday on a one-year contract that guarantees him $7.5 million.
The 31-year-old first baseman will get a $7.3 million salary this season. The deal includes a mutual option for 2023 with a $200,000 buyout.
Aguilar hit 22 home runs with 93 RBIs and batted .261 for the Marlins last year.
