Rodney is expected to be Miami's set up man, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports.
With A.J. Ramos handling closing duties effectively (24 saves, 1.74 ERA) Rodney will find his role as the eighth inning man in Miami's bullpen. However, when Ramos is unavailable, Rodney would presumably be next in line for save opportunities given he only gave up one earned run over 28.2, largely end of the game, innings with San Diego this season. With Rodney's acquisition, the Marlins now have two sub-two ERA closers, giving them one of the most formidable bullpens in the National League.
