Welcome to Thursday, all!
There hasn’t been too much going on with the on-field product of the club. The team signed their first major-league free agent in Trevor Gott, who looks likely to spend a good amount of time in late-game situations. The club lost Devin Sweet to the rival Giants, thinning out the lower half of the bullpen depth chart. And then the bullpen got more bad news today that the top left-hander in the bullpen, Sean Newcomb, would undergo knee surgery. Luckily it isn’t to the same knee that ended his 2023 season and it seems like he’ll be ready for spring, but still, you never want to see your arms go down to injury in the offseason.
