Not sure why Friedman signed this guy if he doesn’t have an injury history.

At 32 years old, the only thing more surprising than his lack of injury history is his two years of remaining arbitration eligibility. As someone will no doubt point out, it’s only a minors signing, but at some point the question has to be answered whether it is really a great plan to be signing a bunch of mediocre middle relief arms to minor league contracts when what the team really lacks are quality middle relief arms at the big team level.

But in order to get these “quality middle relief arms” prospects have to be given up. No team is going to DFA/waive a good relief arm nor are they going to trade them for a bag of balls. With how important a good bullpen has become the past few years, teams are making good relievers more valuable (cost more in a trade) while the teams shopping for bullpen help have to wonder if its worth giving up a top prospect or two for a guy who might blow up upon arrival.
