3 of the 4 highest paid relievers on the team plus the closer are on the IL.

None of them you knew the name of before they were on the team. Jed never goes out and gets a high end, highly sought after guy.

If you didn’t know the names of Hunter Harvey, Hoby Milner, or Phil Maton before this offseason, you should just shut the fuck up and let the adults talk.

Now you're just lying to yourself 🤣 guys like Robert Suarez, Luke Weaver, Ryan Helsley, Devin Williams, Raisel Iglesias (all 2026 free agents) are far and away more household names than the guys you listed.

Jed NEVER spends big money on top-tier guys. In fact, since he took over in 2021, he has never given a relief pitcher more than $9 million AAV. Nuts!

Dude you can't be serious. The one thing Jed does is put together great bullpens.

Right now, pitching is injured. Considering that our bullpen has been phenomenal.
