Guardians replenish bullpen depth after losing reliever to Yankees

Another day, another occasion where the Guardians add a reliever.

After signing Connor Brogdon at the start of the Winter Meetings and acquiring Peyton Pallette in the Rule 5 Draft, the Guardians finalized their 40-man roster on Thursday by signing right-handed reliever Colin Holderman to a one-year, $1.5 million contract.

Holderman brings another veteran into the Guardians slightly revamped bullpen while also providing another middle-leverage arm around Tim Herrin, Andrew Walters and the newly acquired Pallette.
