Is getting any of those relievers better than some of the guys already in the minors? Dale Thayer, Jason Childers, Calvin Medlock, even Jeremy Cummings can do just the same as these wash up major leaguers and at a cheaper price.
Maybe they should look at some position players to fill our farm.
Yes, it is better. What the Rays need is to have as large a pool as possible of potential relievers so that they can cull through them to find the best fits.
By acquiring relievers who have had some success in the majors, the Rays can determine which ones are "washed up" and which still have value. Particularly with relievers it is often hard to distinguish without a close up view. Every year a number of apparently washed up relievers return from the dead while apparent successes go into the tank.
