Kieboom’s “talent should be good enough to win a spot,” Rizzo said, but, he added, “there’s going to be a competition at every spot,” and, “we’re going to bring the best 26 [players] or so, whatever we’re allowed to bring north, and try to win baseball games, but my expectation is [he’ll be] part of our best 26.
