So after the top 14 pitchers (including Stroman) plus Loaisiga on the IL, they have, first the 40 man guys:
*Effross
*Beeter (will probably be in the AAA rotation if he doesn't make the team but really could be a huge Michael King-type weapon if given a chance I think)
*Gomez (no options)
*Will Warren (probably around 8th on the SP depth chart currently but could also be used as a multi-inning guy potentially)
*Owen White
*Yerry De Los Santos
*Michael Arias
The bottom three there NY might try to get through waivers and off the 40 man like they did Allan Winans this week . So some non-40 man guys:
Tyler Matzek
Carson Coleman (was awesome in 2022 in high A/AA at 23, 95 Ks in 63 innings, then he got taken in the rule 5 and has been hurt a lot, but is back and still 26)
Colten Brewer
Jayvien Sandridge (26 year old lefty they just signed who topped out in AAA for SD last year, throws 98 but walks too many)
Eric Reyzelman (their best relief prospect currently, a 5th round pick from LSU in 2022 who allowed a .136 BAA last year across three levels, 63 Ks in 38.2 IP)
That's 27 pitchers, plus they have a lot of potentially exciting SP arms on the way up behind them (Chase Hampton, Cam Schlittler, Brock Selvidge, Kyle Carr all in AA at 22-24 for instance), plus SP vets like Carlos Carrasco and Winans.
Do you see why I think Cashman should trade some of last year's fixer-uppers if he can get a 3B he likes for them? He can offer one-stop bullpen fixing, maybe Josh Smith back from TEX for 3 relievers and a prospect. Leiter Jr. and Cousins and Effross, sign David Robertson and let’s rock.
