MIAMI -- Seth McClung broke into the big leagues with Tampa Bay in 2003.
Now, after spending three seasons with Milwaukee, McClung is returning to the state of Florida. This time, he will be joining the Marlins.
McClung has reached agreement on a Minor League contract with an invitation to Spring Training. If he makes the squad, he will earn $600,000, and he has the chance to collect another $50,000 in incentives.
McClung's deal is similar to that of another former Brewers reliever. Last Friday, the Marlins signed Derrick Turnbow to a Minor League deal with the same contract figures.
McClung, who will turn 29 on Sunday, appeared in 41 games for Milwaukee last year and posted an ERA of 4.94.
From 2003-06, McClung pitched for Tampa Bay.
The Marlins have repeatedly stated that they are looking to beef up their bullpen with proven arms.
Jose Veras, who pitched for the Yankees and Indians last year, also will get a look on a Minor League contract. The Miami Herald reports Florida also has signed right-hander Scott Strickland to a Minor League contract. Strickland last pitched in the big leagues in 2005.
