Like Lebron James once said, Junichi Tazawa is “taking his talents to South Beach”.
According to multiple media reports, Tazawa has agreed to 2-year deal worth $12 million with the Miami Marlins.
The former Red Sox reliever has been struggling the past two seasons, posting an ERA of 4.14 in 2015 and 4.17 in 2016. But Red Sox Nation should not forget that Tazawa was the go-to guy manager John Farrell would call out of the bullpen during the 2013 championship run.
But throughout the next few seasons, Farrell’s decision to call Tazawa out of the bullpen night in and night out began to come back and haunt him.
