Another bullpen candidate has fallen by the wayside, and this time it's Carlos Torres. The former New York Mets right-hander was apparently on the outside looking in when it came to the bullpen competition, so he decided to go ahead and opt out of his contract. He could return to the organization at the AAA level, but that's assuming that he doesn't latch on with an MLB team soon.
The Braves made a bit of a shocking move earlier this week when they signed outfielder Drew Stubbs to a minor league deal after Stubbs failed to make the Texas Rangers' Opening Day squad.
