Yeah, I guess it doesnt matter who Harris trades for, starters or relievers. He's probably not even going to make any big deals, he hasn't made any significant trades. It would be nice if he were to bring in some pitching but Mize and Melton will both be back. And JV still may contribute, we just don't know. JV to the pen? That would be...dramatic. Quote
Edman85 Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago The Dodgers' current bullpen is: Tanner Scott, big time FA Alex Vesia, acquired in a trade for Dylan Floro Kyle Hurt, acquired in the same trade as Vesia Blake Treinen, bigish time FA Will Klein, DFA Trade Jack Dreyer, UDFA Edgardo Henriquez, international FA, small bonus Jake Eder, DFA Trade. I see a lot of dumpster diving there. Let's head to the Bronx... David Bednar, deadline trade last year Fernando Cruz, offseason trade for Jose Trevino Tim Hill, signed as in-season FA after being released Brent Headrick, waiver claim Camilo Doval, deadline trade last year Jake Bird, deadline trade last year. Ryan Yarbrough, signed last spring training after being released. Paul Blackburn, signed last summer after being released. Quite a bit of dumpster diving there too. Quote

You cite a lot of acquisitions via trade and free agency. And I suspect that the minor league free agents on those teams suggest that LA and NY might be better at identifying and developing players other teams have given up on. More importantly, can you defend Hanifee, DeJesus, Guenther, etc..? I don’t mind taking risks on bullpen arms, but they need to produce if that’s part of your strategy. There is no defending this bullpen (so far) this season. Quote
Edman85 Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago (edited) For the Dodgers, Vesia, Hurt, Klein, Dreyer, and Eder are all dumpster dives. For the Yankees, Hill, Headrick, Blackburn, and Yarbrough are all similar. In-season FA after a release is literally what is being bemoaned, and that is what those Yankees are. DFA trade is a trade to bypass waivers. Smith and Hanifee have been really good this year by the way. Edited 1 hour ago by Edman85 Quote
