Receives spring invite from Marlins
Diaz signed a minor-league contract with the Marlins on Friday which includes an invitation to spring training, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.
ANALYSIS
The Rays designated Diaz for assignment in July after he struggled to a 5.70 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 31 appearances. Diaz was able to salvage something from 2017 after signing with the Astros, posting a 2.92 ERA and three saves in 12 appearances with Triple-A Fresno to close the year. He also had a couple serviceable seasons with the Reds, so it's not much of a stretch to think he could break camp in the Miami bullpen.

Diaz's fastball velocity dropped by 1.5 mph last season, and with it his strikeout rate cratered from 27.5 percent to 20.3 percent, and his HR/9 rate jumped to 1.67. These are not good things when a pitcher is trying to be a late-innings reliever. While the Reds are still in teardown mode and building a bullpen becomes the last priority, there's only so much that they can accept. Diaz remains with the organization, but J.J. Hoover is now gone after a similar regression and Diaz could follow him in short order.
