Lands in Miami
The Marlins acquired Smith from the Rays on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations and selected Smith's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Smith exercised the upward mobility clause in his minor-league deal with Tampa Bay. The 33-year-old will appear in the majors for the first time since 2021, assuming he gets into a game. Smith holds a career 6.03 ERA over 102 appearances (13 starts) across parts of five major-league seasons. He figures to operate in long relief in Miami.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2015
2014
Traded across the bay last February, Smith drew rave reviews from his new coaches and teammates in spring training and summer camp. He was otherworldly out of the gates with Oakland, turning in 10.1 scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts and one walk in his first five appearances. All good things must come to an end, and in Smith's case, that end was sudden as he went down with a forearm strain in mid-August and missed the rest of the season. Fortunately, an MRI at the time showed no structural damage. The A's tendered Smith a contract after the season and settled with him at $705,000, suggesting they have some confidence he can contribute in 2021. With Liam Hendriks leaving in free agency, the ninth inning looks open. Based on his 2020 sample alone, Smith would seem like a legitimate candidate, but he had not previously displayed anything close to that level of skill.
