Fife finished the 2017 season pitching for Seibu in the Japanese NPB league after being released by the Marlins in June. He struggled to a 6.86 ERA and 2.14 WHIP across five starts (21 innings) in Japan, though he posted a more respectable 3.97 ERA and 1.43 WHIP across 12 starts (65.2 innings) with Triple-A New Orleans. The 31-year-old will likely serve as organizational pitching depth for the Indians in 2018.

Marlins' Stephen Fife: Agrees to minor league deal with Marlins
Fife signed a minor league contract with the Marlins on Tuesday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.
The 30-year-old missed the entirety of the 2015 campaign after undergoing Tommy John surgery, but he logged seven starts at the Triple-A level last season and does have 16 major league starts to his credit. However, his career 4.50 FIP and 6.9 K/9 at the major league level seems to point toward an assignment to Triple-A after spring training, where he'll likely act as organizational starting pitching depth.

That's three two-inning stints in a row for Fife, who missed all of last season rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. While he hasn't set the world on fire, the numbers are pretty good from a pitcher with so much rust. He'll likely spend the year with Triple-A Iowa.
