There is a reason he was DFA’d last week. Bleier isn’t good either but I feel like free agent relievers may have offered better value, if we are actually spending. Agreed, there's a reason he was let go. However, you aren't buying his kind of upside for $5 million on the FA market which is roughly the difference between his and Bleier's salaries.Trust me, I would have loved to have signed a big name closer as well. It's a 1 year flyer. If he doesn't pan out, we reinvest his money again next year. If he does, we pick up his option and we'll have a closer for $8 million next year. There's really nothing not to like about this trade. Also, with Scott and Okert, Bleier was redundant in our bullpen. Plus we also have a hard throwing young lefty in Nardi who needs another opportunity.
January 31, 20233 yr This is a really good trade. Barnes was elite in the second half last year and has outstanding stuff. Bleier is extremely hittable and will be even worse now that the infield won't be able to shift.
