The Miami Marlins signed free agent outfielder Corey Dickerson to a two-year contract through the 2021 season on Tuesday.

An eighth-round draft pick of Colorado in 2010, Dickerson played for the Rockies (2013-15) and Tampa Bay Rays (2016-17) before moving on to the Pirates in 2018.

He was named to the American League All-Star team in 2017 and won a Gold Glove Award in 2018.

In 776 career games, Dickerson has a .286 career average with 115 homers, 370 RBIs and an .832 OPS.
