After acquiring Lance McCullers Jr. for a relief role, they might look to add further depth due to having eight pitchers on the Injured List. Pete Fairbanks, currently with the Miami Marlins, has been proposed as a potential target despite a challenging season marked by poor statistics and a recent injury stint.
