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.
