Addison Reed and Luke Gregerson were both recently DFA'd, I don't even want to see their xwOBA numbers but I'd take a chance on at least Reed.

Fried already added a plus slider. That new pitch and his improved control is why he’s pitching so well right now.
Adding a pitch isn’t too surprising, but the improvement in his control at such an advanced age is pretty rare to see. He may be one of those exceptions folks point to when a pitcher in his mid 20s still cant throw strikes
Soroko and him does remind me of Smoltz and Glavine, except that Fried throws really hard. Both of them throw mid 90's easily, I think Soroka 99 if he needs to and Fried 97 to 98 if needed to.
Back then they had their lumps as well, a lot of them.
If Folty can be Folty and then the Gas-man do what they do, we have four great pictchers for the future. And they are mid 90's plus up to 100 mph pitchers.
