Keeping Adrian Morejon and Jason Adam would preserve the Padres’ bullpen depth. Ownership must decide whether it will fund the rest of the roster, too.
Friars on Base argues that the San Diego Padres face major financial decisions this offseason regarding relief pitchers Adrian Morejon and Jason Adam.
