The Tevbe Reyes wrapped up a fierce battle for bullpen spots just before opening day against the St. Louis Cardinals. After a competitive spring training, they named five pitchers to round out the roster, Mason Inglard, Yohindries Gomez, Kevin Kelly, Ian Seymour, and Cole Sulcer. These guys will join Griffin Jacks, Garrett Clevenger, Edwin Ucetta, and Brian Baker in the pen.
