Marlins designated RHP John Maine for assignment. Maine allowed 10 runs over 7 1/3 innings, including six over two frames Thursday. Tom Koehler has taken his spot as the team's long man in the bullpen.

Marlins purchased the contract of RHP John Maine from Triple-A New Orleans. Maine failed to win a rotation spot, but he'll be happy with a long relief role after failing to make it up to the majors the last two years. It's possible he'll get a chance to start down the line.

John Maine pitched two perfect innings in relief against the Yankees on Friday. Maine has allowed one run and two hits in five innings this spring. He's still a long shot to break camp with a rotation spot, but if he goes down to Triple-A and turns in a strong April, he could get a chance.

John Maine allowed one run in two innings of work Saturday in the Marlins' 8-3 victory over the Cardinals. Maine last pitched in the majors on May 20, 2010, but he's in the running for a spot in Miami's rotation this spring. The only damage against him today was a David Freese solo homer.

Marlins manager Mike Redmond indicated on Friday that John Maine is "in the mix" for a spot in the Opening Day rotation. The 31-year-old righty hasn't appeared in the majors since the 2010 season, and spent the entire 2012 campaign with the Yankees' Triple-A affiliate, where he posted a 4.97 ERA and 1.34 WHIP over 15 starts. Now that he's fully healthy, it's not out of the question that he could earn one of the final rotation spots with a strong effort this spring.

Marlins signed RHP John Maine to a minor league contract. Maine hasn't appeared in the majors since 2010 and spent last season with the Yankees' Triple-A affiliate. He'll look to provide insurance as organizational depth with the Marlins. The deal is expected to include a spring training invite.

Yankees signed RHP John Maine to a minor league contract. Evan Drellich of MLB.com reported earlier Friday that a deal was close, and it's now been finalized. Maine, who hasn't appeared in the majors since 2010, will provide rotation insurance at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Red Sox released RHP John Maine. The 32-year-old right-hander signed a minor league contract in January but never made it out of extended spring training. Maine posted an ugly 7.43 ERA over 11 starts with the Rockies' Triple-A affiliate last season before leaving the team in June following more shoulder issues. He should be able to land a minor league contract from a new organization, but his odds of making it back to the big leagues are close to nonexistent.

Red Sox signed RHP John Maine to a minor league contract. He'll also get an invite to spring training, where he's expected to get a look as a reliever. Maine posted an ugly 7.43 ERA over 11 starts with the Rockies' Triple-A affiliate last season before leaving the team in June following more shoulder issues. The 30-year-old right-hander is a long shot to make the team.

According to Andy Martino of the New York Daily News, free agent right-hander John Maine "feels healthy" and "will be looking for a team this winter." Maine posted a horrific 7.43 ERA and 2.07 WHIP across 11 starts at Triple-A Colorado Springs this season before a shoulder injury left him unable to pitch. He's had the past several months to fully recover and should be able to land a minor league contract from a new organization this offseason. But it's fair to say that his days as a reliable major league pitcher are far behind him. He was even considering retirement back in June.
