Minor signings

[Tim]

With the Brothers release, I assume it means it's likely between Richard or Ramirez (hopefully they feel he's back or close to it) for the last bullpen spot?

Or Parra or Olmos or Riefenhauser

Or Edwards

These 6 are locks:

 

Rondon

Strop

Grimm

Cahill

Wood

Warren

 

Richard is probably close to a lock as a 2nd LH, although one of the other LH could technically take the job.

 

That leaves Ramirez, Edwards, Acevedo, Riefenhouser, Patton, Jokisch, or an NRI like Olmos for the 8th spot, which could conceivably go to a 5th bench player(Victorino, Szczur, Kawasaki, etc) too.

6 pitchers and Vogelbach optioned and/or reassigned.

Only on the condition that he shortens his name to Al Burquerque
