The Marlins and second baseman Omar Infante have agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension.
Infante would have been eligible for free agency this winter.
The new deal is for two years and about $8 million, according to two sources.
Acquired from the Braves last offseason as part of the Dan Uggla deal, Infante has provided the Marlins with Gold Glove-caliber defense.
