Leaving the San Diego Padres more quietly than he took the mound in the 2011 All Star Game, closer Heath Bell was signed by the Florida Marlins to a 3-year, $27M contract.
Averaging 40 saves a year with a 2.88 ERA, Bell is a bargain compared to Jonathan Papelbon's 4-year, $50M contract, minus postseason experience.
Interestingly, incoming executive Omar Minaya traded Bell to the Padres back when Minaya was the GM for the New York Mets.
Apparently Bell has not forgotten and is saving Minaya the trouble by going to where they know how to make it rain.
