Less than two months after taking a chance on Jorge Julio to be their closer, the Marlins traded the struggling reliever to the Colorado Rockies for submarine pitcher Byung-Hyun Kim on Sunday.
Julio's last pitch for the Marlins marked a fitting ending to his tenure - a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth inning to Ryan Zimmerman that ended Saturday's 7-3 loss.
Traded from Arizona for pitcher Yusmeiro Petit on March 26, Julio finished 0-2 with a 12.54 ERA and two blown saves in 10 games.
