Dan Straily is in a weird spot this year for the Marlins. The 30-year-old has been back end of the rotation quality for most of his career in the majors. He owns zero seasons with an earned run average below 3.50.
While Straily used to be useful as an innings eater who could hold the thin Fish pitching staff together, he’s being squeezed out in 2019 by a wave of electric, inexpensive starters.
How did he get here? Traded on January 19, 2017 from the Reds to the Marlins for Zeek White, Austin Brice and Luis Castillo.
