Pete to Miami

  1. So glad we didn’t move him when we didn’t plan to match the option. Great job everyone

  2. Why not at least use the option and trade him? Clearly interest if he’s commanding 13 million. Don’t get it.

  3. Makes a lot of sense they lost Ronnie Henríquez and Pete needs the warmth. A true Ray icon wishing him the absolute best

  4. strange that two franchises that are famous for being cheap decided to both waste money in this situation instead of working out a deal to have the option excercised and then a trade. Rays paid $1 mil buyout to Pete and Marlins spend $2 mil more than they would have had to with the $11 option salary.

  5. Loved Fairbanks but it was time. He was trending way down and I don’t think we were gonna come anywhere near that contract. Hope he succeeds in Miami. 

  6. Did they not look into trading him before he signed a contract for MORE than he was due this year?

    Starting to think our front office is cooked, they did so well for a long time people don’t question moves like this but I’m stumped on this one

  7. Atleast since he struggled closing out games the Marlins won’t have many leads in the 9th inning.

  8. There’s no real point in spending money where we’re at, but we should have tried to get some value at the deadline if we didn’t want to pay him
