I guess part of the reason is I have a tough time seeing who the knock out reliever is that the Cubs can trade for.  The only guy that has been rumored to be on the market is Britton, but he has a lot of questions and I have doubts that the Orioles will actually trade him.

One guy who I sold short on is Mike Minor.  He was fantastic last year, but the 2 TJS scare me a lot.

I think you can add a lot of depth to the Cubs bullpen in this free agent class in the $30 million and under reliever range without affecting the Cubs ability to lock up the young guys or go after 2018 free agents.  I would be quite happy with 2-3 free agent relievers, Cobb and inning eating 5th starter.

Anibal Sanchez and Drew Hutchinson would be some interesting starter to reliever guys if you could get them on a minor league deal for me.
