If they're trading some of the set-ups and closers, they have to count on one of Winchowski, Houck and Whitlock to be back in the pen. A tough balance with starters and relievers.
Close - two of them.
Starting Rotation as of today:
1 Giolito
2 Bello
3 Pivetta
4 Crawford
5 one of Houck, Whitlock or Winckowski.
Bullpen, max of 8.
1 Jansen
2 Martin
3 Justin Slaten (Rule 5)
4 Bryan Mata
leaving 4 spots for:
5 one of Houck*, Whitlock* or Winckowski.*
6 one of Houck*, Whitlock* or Winckowski.*
7 Isaiah Campbell* (traded from SEA)
8 Schreiber*
9 Bernardino (LHP)*
They have Murphy (LHP), Walter, Leutge (LHP), Criswell, Weisart, Kelly, and German.
If they clear Jansen and Martin and Schreiber, they can go for a prospect, or a cost-controlled ML ready pitcher, or OF and end up with a bullpen of:
Houck/Whitlock/Campbell/Bernardino/Slaten/Mata/Murphy/Kelly.
