ESPN’s Jeff Passan highlights their need for relief pitching, suggesting a trade for Carmen Mlodzinski could be on the table, especially after his recent success in the bullpen. Passan mentions potential targets like Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers and Red Sox relievers Aroldis Chapman and Garrett Whitlock.
