MLB Trade Deadline: Marlins Send Rea Back, Meaning What?

In a crazy twist, the Miami Marlins front office proved themselves to be calculating businessmen with a keen eye for getting maximum value out of a contract.

Okay, maybe that’s not that crazy. But they might have had a point this time.

According to Ken Rosenthal, the Marlins are sending Colin Rea back to the San Diego Padres in exchange for pitching prospect Luis Castillo. * Rea made his Marlins debut Saturday, but as I’m sure you’re aware, left less than four innings in with an elbow injury.
