How A's diverse bullpen could be key to success in 2020 MLB season

The A’s bullpen has been looking mighty fine lately.

Heading into Sunday’s 6-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels, the A’s bullpen had been pretty sensational.

“It’s exciting, obviously you have a bunch of guys who have done it before, filtered in with a couple of the new guys,” A’s reliever Liam Hendriks told reporters after the game. “We have [Jordan] Weems out there as well.”

Hendriks then explained that he had known T.J. McFarland previously, and the new face of Burch Smith, who could be an asset to relieve Yusmeiro Petit in some of those multi-inning scenarios, was added to the pen as well.
