MLB > Leaderboards > Team Bullpen Rankings This is a sorted list of the best bullpens in baseball according to THE BAT's context-neutral projected 'true talent' ERA. This incorporates, among other things, regression, multiple weighted years of data, aging, velocity, minor league and foreign league data, and adjustments to account for the quality of opposing hitters, ballparks, umpires, weather, pitch-framing, defense, and more for each reliever on the team, weighted by projected innings pitched over the remainder of the season. Note that this includes not just the current members of the bullpen, but all pitchers expected to pitch in relief over the course of an entire season. https://evanalytics.com/mlb/leaderboards/team-bullpen-rankings White Sox 30th https://www.covers.com/sport/baseball/mlb/statistics/team-money/2025 Hey, at least we're ahead of the Pirates and WAY ahead of the Rockies here!!! Padres, Cubs, Guardians, Tigers, Royals #1-5 SF, NYM, SAC/ATH, Seattle, LAD make up #6-10 (all pretty big budgets other than the A's)

Send Baldwin to ACL. Seriously, he took an outside pitch and went with it instead of trying to pull...and found the open hole. Nice situational execution there. The problem is 245/667 with his defensive profile still ends up with around a 0.1 to -0.1 fWAR profile.

Quero piling up the K's recently... Can Palacios actually get TWO hits in a single game? He and Taylor look almost the same statistically. Which isn't exactly a good thing.

You don't make the argument that Cedric Mullins is the last missing piece in the line-up to take down the Dodgers...

He must not be one of Andrew's "bros."

Of course, they also play INFIELD IN just when you think they should be at double play depth as well...lol

Got in on Witt's hands....great job by Burke so far. Offense, not so much. And then if it becomes a bullpen game....

Let's see if Meidroth bunts or figures out how to advance the runners here. "These are not the droids you're looking for." Aiyo.

Baldwin really needs to stop with this bunting stuff unless he figures out how to actually execute it under game conditions.

Burke at 4.63 ERA is about what the consensus was coming into the year...although a lot of saber predictions were in the high 4's and low to mid 5's for ERA.

At the rate they're going, Wikelman Gonzalez or Scholtens will be their next starter in the Wilson spot. Unless they convert Vasil, which would be pretty dumb with how comfortably he's pitching as the swing man out of the bullpen...

Fletcher, DoCF 3 0 0 0 0 3 .272 .826 JulksLF 2 1 1 1 1 0 .354 .997 Elko1B 2 0 2 1 1 0 .346 1.096 What else can he freakin' do???? Tristan Gray also has an .888 OPS, try ANY of them, but Elko's clearly most deserving.

Once again, our two best pitchers, at least statistically, are Rule 5 picks. Booser, arguably the third best...at least a lively armed LHP, albeit with command/control issues. What can you expect from a bullpen of AAAA/journeymen types...when you don't invest ANY new money there?

Nope...he has almost nothing to work with. As they said during the Nats/Indians' broadcast today, you can't be a good manager with a bad/horrific bullpen (see Dave Martinez). Also, when your GM refuses to allow one of your hottest hitting prospects to give it a try, it's very demoralizing for the rest of the minor leaguers. Guys like Corey Julks (yes, he would have to be put on the 40 man again) and Tristan Gray really can't do any worse than Amaya or Palacios. Even if they did, you have to maintain the belief that if your play merits it, you'll get your shot in the big leagues eventually.

Schweitzer roughed up again. Thankfully there's J.Scholtens back to save the day. "Colson Montgomery singles on a ground ball to center fielder Hayden Alvarez. Jurdrick Profar scores." 1/8 so far, might have the GW RBI if the bullpen can hold it. 5-4 AL WSX

He or Ohtani are definitely their offensive MVPs so far. 117.9 ev homer from Shohei already this week...catching fire again. You can pretty much guarantee Andrew Friedman can fix whatever he needs to with that impressive/deep farm system and virtually unlimited financial resources.

At least we are better than Nats' bullpen lol...only surrendered six to the Guardians so far today. Then the CLE pen promptly gave back 4 lol...Smith and Gaddis. Still second game of DH left to go. And we don't have Devin Williams either.

Beckham as well.

Montgomery 0/4 K...needs to break through with a hit soon, or things will just continue to spiral.

Pages one of the hottest hitters in baseball but that won't deter them. Plus Conforto has been NOT so good.

I guess I should have said his numbers are misleading...we already have Bergolla/Bonemer and about five or six more 625-725 ops infielders, so really need more quality outfield depth than just Braden. Zavala and Wolkow not exactly lighting the world on fire, either.

Not convinced. KC swept season series last year...at least all the the home games.

Probably hiding him and Robert from a tough match up. That doesn't explain Vaughn though.

Since a Cease start in late 2023…

Wasn’t Arroyo the target last time? Hasn’t he been pretty abysmal at the plate?
