Jnevel, I think there are several important things when trying to improve our team. You try and improve your starters and reserve players, starting pitching and relievers.
First, you can dfa players without losing their services. What team would claim Roycroft. I really doubt anyone would want Fermin. Bruihls value is that he throws left handed. Pretty sure they’d end up at Memphis.
Second, we have Prieto, Jordan, and Mendoza as reserve depth pieces with Jordan possibly being a starter. But we will never know until we give them a chance.
Lastly, other teams have to make tough roster decisions too. So there are transactions and players available. Our bullpen is the 22nd best in MLB. That and our bench are inferior as currently rostered.
And I was just saying I’d like to see these players added, but that doesn’t mean all 3 will be moved. Could be September moves as well.
