• Added RHP Jhony Brito and LHP Matt Krook to the Major League roster.
• OF Tim Locastro elected free agency in lieu of accepting an outright assignment.
Locastro only got into 38 games at the major league level this past season, slashing .186/.239/.349, with two home runs, four RBIs, eight stolen bases and 13 runs scored over 38 games.
Known more for his elite speed, the thirty-year-old had the fastest tracked foot speed in the 2021 season. He has 39 career steals over his six-year major league career, spanning 247 games.
Locastro will likely have to settle for a minor-league deal this offseason.
