    Alex Torres Reassigned

    Was on a minor league deal. The search for another lefty or two for the major league pen will intensify.

    I imagine Neil Cotts' agent's phone is ringing steadily today.

    Wesley Wright is also available now as he was let go today. He had some injury issues last year but looks healthy again coming off a strong spring. Per MLBTR: "The veteran southpaw did have a solid spring, at least, allowing only two earned runs and posting eight strikeouts against three walks in 8 1/3 innings."

    Franklin Morales might cost a bit more but he might be the best option now available as he was let go by the Brewers.

    Interesting to see all these decent lefty relievers available.

    Yea, there are some good ones available. I'd go for Morales if he can be had cheap enough and then trade him later at the deadline if a good offer comes along.

    Yeah, it seems like we're gonna get bailed out after the FO's poor planning. Franklin Morales joins Neal Cotts in the top tier at this point. Would be thrilled to get either of those two. That would give us an average MLB bullpen. And I mean that as a compliment.

    Randy Choate released today by TOR. Another good LOOGY option for us.
