After being designated for assignment by the Marlins on Tuesday, Derek Dietrich’s tenure with the Marlins is now officially done. As we await word on whether Dietz will be traded for, claimed or released (probably the latter), here’s what he posted to Instagram on Monday afternoon:
Thank You Miami! We’ve shared both happy and sad times. Thank You to the Marlins, my first MLB team, for the opportunity to play the game that I love in Paradise! Thank You to all my amazing teammates; it has been an honor to do battle beside you.
