What relievers interest you? I know Watson is struggling big time. Hand and Buchter on the Padres are interesting. I like Tommy Kahnle on the White Sox as well. Everyone talks about the starters but I think getting a reliever is crucial as well

Some pitching updates:

quote:

Musgrove, who had trouble moving his arm for two days after receiving a cortisone shot on Thursday, played some low-intensity catch at 70-90 feet on Monday, and said he felt no pain. Musgrove is targeting returning to the rotation on Sunday.


quote:

Worth noting • Right-hander Collin McHugh, on the disabled list since the end of spring with a posterior impingement in his right elbow, has thrown about 15-20 pitches off the mound four times -- fastballs and changeups only -- and he hopes to work in some breaking balls this week. "Once I can throw all my pitches, it's just a matter of getting a couple of bullpens under my belt, feeling comfortable enough to see some live hitters and do a live BP or two, and then go out on rehab," McHugh said. "I don't know what the timetable for that is necessarily, but it's a little clearer today than it was two weeks ago."


quote:

Right-hander Charlie Morton, on the disabled list since May 27 with a lat strain, said he will be evaluated on Tuesday to see if he can play catch for the first time since his injury. He's been getting in his running and doing upper-body exercises, but he hasn't thrown yet

I tried to poke around fangraphs relievers stats to come up with some names the other day. My criteria was simply relievers performing well on teams that will not be contending for the playoffs.

Hand- SD
Blake Parker- LAA
Pirates and CWS have some guys like Swarzak, Felipe Rivero
Addison Reed if the Mets sell

I bet there will be many available

I think Minor with KC should get a look, as well as Herrera if they are willing.

Give the White Sox a call and ask about Robertson or Swarzak.

Maybe David Phelps from Miami would be on the table.

Drew Storen will likely be available.

There have been some great suggestions in the thread already. I'll add Justin Wilson from Detroit.

Something I think Luhnow may look for is a deal to swap Sipp while still paying his salary to get a more reliable lefty. The team that takes Sipp can use him to try to get him right (and then maybe trade him later).
