No surprises here, as all of the pitchers didn’t have roles with the team for 2024.
Naughton might have been the only exception, as he’s had MLB experience in the past
and might be one of the first guys promoted if there is an injury in the bullpen.

Hence is still a big time prospect; he needs more time at Double A before he’s ready
for the big leagues. Rajcic is another decent prospect and is still a bit away from
the Majors.

With pitcher depth decreasing, the need for catchers goes down; none of the 3 sent
out will be in the Majors this year, if at all.

Gomez is an interesting case; he was the talk of the system 2 years ago, but lack
of progress and struggles making contact have killed his value. Since he was removed
from the 40-man, it shouldn’t be surprising that he was one of the first guys out;
at the same time, the team needs a little outfield depth with [Tommy Edman](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/e/edmanto01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.nyrdcast.com&utm_campaign=2024-03-05_br)
out and it couldn’t hurt to see what he had a little bit longer.
