Fairbanks racked up 75 saves over the past three seasons. He's been Cash's go-to stopper when healthy. The right-hander ranks third in franchise history with 90 saves. He would have almost certainly passed Colome (95) and Roberto Hernandez (101) had he remained with the organization for another year. Instead, Tampa Bay declined Fairbanks' $11MM option and allowed him to hit free agency. He signed a one-year, $13MM deal with the Marlins on Christmas Eve.

The free-agent pickup has been one of the top offseason additions in baseball this year, with the 37-year-old southpaw sporting a miniscule 1.06 ERA and 0.69 WHIP while striking out 71 batters over 51 innings of work. As noted by MassLive's Chris Smith, Chapman has not allowed a hit to the last 38 batters he's faced, with his last hit allowed coming all the way back on July 23 against the Phillies.
