The Padres have had a revolving door of relievers on the major league roster this year. Statistically, they’ve had one of the worst bullpens in the league. This is happening while the closer Kirby Yates has a 1.16 ERA in 31 IP. He leads the entire majors in saves, but the Padres have a huge problem getting to him.
Yesterday, the team called up Kazuhisa Makita. He’s 34 and has a career 5.40 ERA. The team is crossing their fingers hoping someone, ANYONE, can get them through the middle innings.
What about Andres Munoz and Trevor Megill?
