My Number One Target:

Post image

I keep seeing who we need to re-sign, but Adrian Morejon is my target. I want him badly. 27-years-old, lights out over the last 3 years, and has been stuck behind Mason on the depth chart. Give me this guy as our closer.

Eh would be nice but free agent relievers are such a crap shoot. Exactly why jed doesnt give big contracts to relievers. BUT something needs to change and im and so damn sick of having a bullpen thats a liability. Its really been Jed’s biggest issue imo

Need to target and actually hang onto prospects with the arms that can profile to be relievers. I honestly think Jed and Co have done about as well as you can building a bullpen year to year via free agency with how much variance there is with it. It’s just not the sign of a healthy pitching development organization to have to do that literally every year

His biggest Bullpen additions the last three offseasons have been pitiful As hell! Neris, Pressley, Maton all majorly sucked. Jed needs to do much better.
