MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The Miami Marlins are making moves this week.

A day after reports emerged that the team had signed starting pitcher Wei-Yin Chen to a 5 year deal worth $80 million, Miami has added more depth to its pitching staff.

The Marlins have signed veteran right-hander Edwin Jackson to a one-year deal.

Jackson saw success as a starter early in his career but has been used mostly out of the bullpen in recent seasons.

Last season Jackson made 47 relief appearances for the Chicago Cubs and Atlanta Braves.
