Yes. He has one. 

I'd do that then.

R - Brach, Givens, O’Day, Wright, Araujo

L - Bleier, Cortes

If so they have to be willing to lose someone.  Araujo isn’t leaving. 

DFA Wright on the 28th and hope nobody picks him?

Wright can be a beast in short outings. Sitting mid 90’s. He starts out in the “B” squad reliever role. 

I don't recall Wright getting a bump in stuff when pitching out of the pen.

In fact i remember being disappointed about it.

Arajuo has the rest of ST and maybe 2-3 outings until Cobb is ready. The guy is going to have to be lights out.

You could go with 13 pitchers if you don't carry a MI.

He’s never going to be that 98 mph we saw in his first two starts. But sitting 94-95 could be enough. Give him time to get used to how much he can push himself and we get 6 cheap years of Tommy Hunter.

I don't know if he did it on purpose or not but the market played right into DD's hands

Two solid starting pitchers (three if Tillman does Well) for solid prices and a bunch of complimentary pieces to fill some holes.

I think we go with this as well. 

They'll give Wright an extended look out of the pen while stretching out Castro at AAA and keeping Araujo and Cortes. Makes too much sense.

Castro and Givens are the only guys in the pen with options. Not a lot of room for shenanigans.

Idunno... Wright would be the bottom of the pecking order for me.  I might even swap him out for Donnie Hart so the club has a third lefty option in the pen until Britton comes back.

That kid isn’t going anywhere unless he falls apart.

No need now. Castro is too important to the MLB pen and winning. 

He's projected for replacement level production. If they see him as important, they probably shouldn't.

Is it just me or does this feel like John Angelos is more in charge than Peter is with this signing pending physical?
