With a reported $15 million left in the budget, Coppy has spent nearly half — $6.25 million — on:
- Bud Norris: 6.72 ERA, 1.578 WHIP in 2015
- Gordon Beckham: .618, .617 OPS in 2014/15
- Jim Johnson: 8.75 ERA, 1.859 WHIP in second half last season
He’s trying to spend the rest , and then some, on a 33-year-old reliever.
