At the start of the GM Meetings, Andrew Friedman said this:
“For the most part we’re going to focus on pitching. This offseason is different than last in that going into next year we feel much better about our pitching depth at Oklahoma City,” Friedman said. “Obviously [Hyun-jin] Ryu is a big wild card and [Brandon] McCarthy will be back at some point. Then you have [Mike] Bolsinger and [Carlos] Frias, Jose De Leon, [Julio] Urias, [Jharel] Cotton, Zach Lee and [Joe] Wieland. We have a number of guys and that is a big difference for us just in terms of the depth we’ll have at hand.
