Offseason Strategic Moves
The team made two major roster adjustments this offseason. They secured Jordan Romano with a $10M deal to bolster the closer role, and they enhanced their pitching depth by trading for left-hander Jesus Luzardo. These moves reflect a focused strategy to strengthen the bullpen and add versatility to the pitching staff.
Early Season Hurdle
Despite these proactive decisions, the team faces an immediate challenge as left-hander Ranger Suarez is set to begin the season on the injured list. This setback tests the depth of the pitching rotation and calls for additional contributions from other arms early in the campaign.
