Pete Fairbanks Lands $13M With Marlins After Rays Decline Option

Will Sammon first reported the agreement. Fairbanks and Miami agreed to a one-year, $13 million deal after the Rays turned down his $11 million option. The 32-year-old hit the open market and beat the option by $2 million. Fairbanks gives the Marlins late-inning power with closing experience, while the Rays keep trimming payroll and bullpen costs.
