  • Teams can never have enough quality bullpen arms if they were to be serious about gunning for a World Series crown. Even rarer are quality southpaws who can come in and help shut the door completely.

The article from MSN discusses the competitive market for free agent relief pitcher Josh Hader, who is coming off a season where he recorded 33 saves with a 1.28 ERA for the San Diego Padres.
