Miami Marlins links, 4/5/18: Marlins sign former closer. Psych! No, they didn’t.

The Marlins were off yesterday but not without intrigue. According to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, they signed former Cardinals’ closer Trevor Rosenthal to a minor league deal. (Click the tweet below and read the replies. It’s worth your time if you like to laugh, particularly Rosenthal’s response.)

The Miami #Marlins sign #STLCards closer Trevor Rosenthal to a one year contract while recovering from Tommy John surgery that will pay him $88,900 in the minors and the league minimum of 545,000 if he returns to the big leagues this year

But then they didn’t sign Rosenthal after all.
