Even though every major bullpen signing didn’t work out last year, that shouldn’t deter the front office from pursuing the same strategy. Sure, signing Craig Kimbrel seems like overkill but there are plenty of good options. The good thing here is you can’t sign enough arms and money should be no object in this scenario. Management signaled hope in this department last offseason. Let’s keep it going.
At bare minimum, the club would be wise to re-sign Adam Ottavino. He is one of the best relievers in club history coming off his best season.
