Confirmed. Wanted to add a little to the system and OF is a position of of depth. Bedrosian was a waiver wire gem and tough to move, but I will worry about saves next year. It is good to bring Fulmer, Newcomb, and Bradley into the system.

I felt it was a great opportunity here to capitalize on my prospect depth and deal some top unproven talent for guys who have already produced in the show. While Newcomb and Fulmer are top pitching prospects, I felt I could afford to deal them with several talented arms still in my pipeline (De Leon, Reyes, Taillon, Bickford, Garrett, Ortiz, etc.). I hope they both figure out their control issues and become the dominant #1-2 pitchers they have the potential to be. Bobby Bradley hurt to deal as well, hes a patient masher oh man! But with AJ Reed and Cody Bellinger, that lessened the blow for me.
This was all about getting Yelich and hopeful future closer Bedrosian. Yelich is an OBP and TB machine and should continue to develop that power. This deal could sway either way whether or not Bedrosian takes over the closer role for the next few years. Good to pair a potential power arm closer with Rondon who I acquired earlier. Hopefully one of them works out. Moya was a nice piece at the end, hopefully he figures out how to hit the ball more often because.....ball go far. Thanks Jay as always, good talks.
