MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) – Veteran outfielder Cameron Maybin had to correct himself as he talked about rejoining the team that first made him an everyday player.
He said he was happy to be back with the Florida Marlins before noting a name change since he left.
“It has been a while — what, about 10 years, I think,” Maybin said.
He actually departed after the 2010 season. The franchise became the Miami Marlins two years later, and now Maybin’s back. The well-traveled 11-year veteran signed a $3.25 million, one-year contract and gives the young, rebuilding Marlins much-needed experience.
