Dave Dombrowski had an interesting philosophy to the offseason. Outside of the big idea signings of J.T. Realmuto and Didi Gregorius, Dombrowski looked to add depth with smaller, more budget conscious deals. Archie Bradley is here on a one-year deal. Jose Alvarado was traded for because he was making too much money for Tampa Bay. But others were added on minor league deals. Some were almost guaranteed a spot the moment they signed, some had to fight to make the roster. These are their stories.
