9 hours ago9 hr Congrats to Ben Peoples on his MLB debut. 2 scoreless with 2 hits and 1 K. Not an indictment of the trade just noting the guy made it and for whatever reason it didn't seem it was going to happen here.

They obviously liked him to some extent to target him in the Houser trade, but his path to our 26 man roster was going to prove challenging.

We have too many lefties in the bullpen, he could have been up pretty easily IMO but just DFA one of them

There is still good reason not to add more pain to the problem.
