Infielder Jonathan Villar, right-hander José Ureña and left-hander Adam Conley are now officially under contract with the Marlins for the 2020 season, settling on one-year deals with the team on Friday. First baseman Jesús Aguilar appears to be heading to an arbitration hearing—both sides exchanged salary figures and couldn’t find common ground.
The newly acquired Villar got a nice raise for himself, per Jon Heyman of MLB Network. He earned $4.825 million from the Orioles in 2019, but a productive “platform year” bumps him up to $8.
