Alcantara - 2018 Ozuna trade headliner, then extended ($17MM this year)
Bachar - 2024 waiver claim
Bellozo - 2024 trade for Amaya, who was on waivers at the time.
Bender - 2021 signed to a minors contract out of the Independent League. ($1.42MM in arb this year)
Faucher - 2024 trade with Brujan for Lara and Lindsey. Very little value at the time. Both Brujan and Faucher were about to hit the waiver wire.
Gillispie - 2025 waiver claim
Henriquez - 2025 waiver claim
Meyer - 2020 draft (rd 1 pick 3, $6.7MM bonus)
Phillips - 2025 trade for cash. Basically a waiver claim
Quantrill - 2025 free agent signing (1 yr, 3.5MM)
Soriano - 2015 International signing ($55k bonus)
Tinoco - 2024 waiver claim
Veneziano - 2024 waiver claim
So only one draft pick, one long-shot international signing, one high-end trade prospect, and 10 waiver wire or valueless guys (when we acquired them) make up our pitching staff.
Fortes - 2018 draft (rd 4, pick 117, $425k bonus, $1.86MM in arbitration)
Hicks - 2025 rule 5 draft, never played above AA
Bride - 2024 trade for cash
Edwards - 2023 trade with Chargois for Johnson and Suarez
Lopez - 2024 waiver claim
Mervis - 2025 trade for Brujan. Basically swapping busted prospects instead of putting them on waivers
Sanoja - 2019 International signing ($90k bonus)
Wagaman - 2025 free agent signing. Basically a minors deal so it doesn't count
Conine - 2021 trade for cash
Hill - 2024 waiver claim
Myers - 2022 waiver claim
Stowers - 2024 trade with Norby for Rogers. He probably could have been claimed on waivers if we waited 2 months
Pauley - 2024 trade with Snelling, Mazur, and Beshears for Scott and Hoeing
Once again only one draft pick, one international signing, 9 waiver-type guys, and 2 legit prospects received in trades. Not a single legit free agent.
