(AP) --
JUPITER, Fla. (AP) - The Florida Marlins have acquired
left-hander Nate Robertson from the Detroit Tigers for left-hander
Jay Voss.
Robertson started six games and also spent time in the bullpen
for the Tigers last season. He finished 2-3 with a 5.44 ERA in 28
appearances.
Owed $10 million this year in the final season of a $21.25
million, three-year deal, he has a 51-69 record and 4.92 ERA in 202
games over eight big league seasons. Detroit is sending Florida
cash as part of the deal.
The 22-year-old Voss split last season between Class-A Jupiter
and Double-A Jacksonville for the Marlins. In 10 games with
Jupiter, he compiled a 2.03 ERA and 10 strikeouts. He was 3-0 with
a 2.97 ERA and 36 strikeouts in 30 appearances with Jacksonville.
