Among remaining contenders, Marlins, Reds and Diamondbacks hold top waiver priority.
Let’s highlight the one non-rental of the bunch: Clevinger. He’s owed $1.4 million on his 2023 salary. However, he’s under control via a $12 million mutual option that includes a $4 million buyout. That means the guarantee to Clevinger is his salary and buyout. That makes Clevinger by far the most expensive option, which could dampen interest. Also, the league investigated Clevinger after accusations surfaced of domestic violence and child abuse.
Thanks to the Angels, there are intriguing choices. The righty Lopez isn’t perfect — we know he’s going to walk some guys — but his stuff remains electric. He’s a legit back-end guy and he pitched well in his short stint with the Angels. From the left side, Moore has emerged as perhaps the most intriguing player on outright waivers. He has been perhaps the most steady presence in the Angels’ bullpen. Adding both would cost around $2 million.
Of course, the Reds are one of the teams ahead of the Marlins for a wild card. So, perhaps that’s even more motivation for the Fish to snag at least one of those bullpen arms. It would mean that the Reds don’t get one. However, it’s worth noting that the Reds face the same fundamental problem as the Marlins. Cincinnati’s playoff odds have dipped to 10.7 percent. Not great.means the Diamondbacks find themselves a half-game out of a wild-card spot. The area of upgrade here is fairly obvious. Arizona’s bullpen ranks 25th in both ERA and fWAR. Lopez and Moore would help — and it’s not unimaginable to think that both could be within reach. Arizona also passed on rotation upgrades at the trade deadline.
