#Marlins bring back an old friend in their bullpen
This will be de Geus' second stint with the Marlins as he claimed off waivers by them from the Seattle Mariners but then was DFA'd by them a month later with is when the Blue Jays claimed him.
de Geus did see a total of 11.1 innings in the majors last year between the Mariners, Marlins and Blue Jays but finished with a 7..15 ERA which is why he has struggled so much to stay on one team.
The former Blue Jays reliever does have MLB experience and could be given another chance in the majors especially on a weaker team but he will need to prove that he belongs if he wants to continue to play in the MLB.
