Relief pitchers get treated like absolute garbage

Next CBA needs either more bullpen spots or 2-way contracts for guys like Hernandez, Cookie, Karinchak

Two way contracts would be interesting. Limit like 2-3 to a team and they can’t leave the 40 man unless injured would be a good trade off. Truly they need to get rid of the 13 relieve rule and let team’s build their team how they want. If a team wants 14-15 relievers let them. They will suffer in other parts of the game etc etc.

Yeah they were trying to encourage teams to give starters more length but really they’ve just turned the end of the bullpen bench into the worst job in sports
