Jonathan Bermudez: Headed overseas

The Rakuten Monkeys of the Chinese Professional Baseball League signed Bermudez to a contract Wednesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

Bermudez debuted with the Marlins this past season, allowing six runs over 6.2 innings, before being removed from their 40-man roster. The 29-year-old lefty has mostly been a starter in the minors, although it's not clear what role the Monkeys have planned for him.
