Marlins Outright Yadiel Rivera, Brett Graves

By Jeff Todd | December 11, 2018 at 12:30pm CDT

The Marlins have outrighted infielder Yadiel Rivera and righty Brett Graves, according to Wells Dusenbury of the Sun-Sentinel (via Twitter). That creates two 40-man roster openings in advance of the Rule 5 draft.

Rivera, 26, got his first extended look at the MLB level last year, but managed only a .173/.269/.216 batting line in 160 plate appearances. Graves, meanwhile, received his first major-league stint with the Fish in 2018. He threw 33 1/3 innings of 5.40 ERA ball with 5.7 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9.

    Making room for someone obtained in a three team trade perhaps??

    I immediately thought the same thing, but if the Marlins only receive two theoretical prospects for JT, than the two men are very highly regarded indeed..

      Could be two for the 40-man and others who don’t need protection.

    Marlins,Orioles,Royals are prob going to be very active in the rule 5 draft. Im expecting someone to pick up Michael Gettys from the Padres

      Exactly…you take flyers on guys and can justify having a lower payroll because you are “developing” these guys on the MLB roster

    Cleveland needs bullpen help. Is this Graves any good?
