Pitching Depth

This article in the Sun again mentioned the Jays retaining Josh Towers.

And this quote makes it sound like Ricciardi is paying attention to Magpie:

"You always need pitching depth with starters," Ricciardi said.
"Every year you need eight guys who can start (because of injuries).

Again, I'm not buying it until I literally see the Jays offer Towers arbitration. I still think it's a ploy to try to get someone to trade a prospect instead of waiting for the Jays to non-tender him. During the season the Padres and Phillies both had some level of interest in Towers so it's a possibility.

A couple relievers signed deals this week: Francisco Cordero signed for 4 years and $46 million with the Reds and Scott Linebrink signed for 4 years and $19 million with the White Sox.

Given that I believe that Jeremy Accardo is a pretty valuable property to a team needs bullpen help and/or a closer. At this time the Brewers have that need and have some positional player depth. If I were in charge I'd be calling up looking to make a trade that was centered around Accardo and Bill Hall.
