What to do about relievers?

You think Mariners Andrés Muñoz regrets his Extension? Has made $7.5M that last 4 yrs. Would've been eligible for Free Agency this Offseason at 27 yrs old. Mariners have 3 Club Options 2026-2028 at $24M TOTAL that can escalate to $27M.

Then he would have never had the assets to fund his kitty rescue operation!

Flexen would be worth looking at. It doesn't show in Run Value, but his slider should be one of the best pitches in the league, and maybe his changeup as well. I think the mistake teams are making is trying to stick with him as a starter.

Dodgers DFA'd Julian Hernandez today after he threw one inning in the majors. He had a 3.05 ERA in AAA with 49 K's in 41 innings. Throws 100 mph and has hit as high as 103.

Ryan Pressly is still a free agent. He's not amazing by any means but I'm sure he could get some people out.

Chris Flexen had an ERA in the mid 1's until a run of bad pitching that got him DFA'd.

Jose Castillo has been a f/a for a few weeks. He had a 2.19 ERA over 12 innings with the Mets... 17 K's over that time.

It seems like it's about time to bring of Sauryn Lao. He has a 3.00 ERA over 66 innings in AAA for Tacoma.

Michael Hobbs in AA has allowed a lot of walks this year but also sports a 1.85 ERA over 43 innings.

I suppose Gregory Santos may be an option at some point?

I dono. Seems we're kind of f'd when it comes to low leverage relief and they should have made more trades to shore up the pen.

Hopefully this Castillo won't blow chunks.

Hopefully this Castillo won't blow chunks.

Has a WHIP of almost 2 this season.

Gregory Santos pitched Saturday for the Rainiers. Threw 22 pitches, walked 1, K'd 1. He's been a disappointment, always injured, since joining the Mariners. Would like to see him healthy and being effective like he was for the White Sox in 2023.

Even if they're not amazing...

Jackson and Castillo seem like better pick ups for low leverage situations than Legumina and Saucedo... which makes me happy.

Santos has a lot of raw tools but worse mentals than Milton Bradley. I hope he figures it out, but I'm not counting on it.
