The Miami Marlins are signing reliever Pete Fairbanks to a one-year, $13 million contract, making him likely their closer for the upcoming season. Fairbanks, who previously played for the Rays, had a strong 2025 season with a 2.83 ERA and is known for his high-velocity fastball and effective strikeout ability. The deal includes incentives and a trade bonus, and it helps bolster the Marlins' bullpen, which has been in need of improvement. This move is part of the Marlins' broader offseason spending plans.

However, competition from other teams and Williams's openness to staying with the Yankees could influence the outcome.
